Abstract
Field testing of non‐toxic antifouling coatings has required the development of test protocols that can quantify their performance. This includes the evaluation of the biofouling communities, the measurement of biofouling adhesion using a calibrated water jet and the measurement of barnacle adhesion in shear. Data are presented for several test surfaces, and the results are discussed with respect to the coating characteristics.Keywords
