MARINE FOULING AND CORROSION OF INSTRUMENTATION AT ARGUS ISLAND

2006

Beckner, Jr, C. F.

This report describes marine fouling and corrosion of oceanographic instrumentation submerged at Argus Island, located approximately 22 miles southwest of Bermuda. Barnacles and algae were the predominant fouling organisms. These organisms generally attached to sensors in areas where antifouling coatings had become chipped or scratched. Seasonal variation in severity of fouling was noted.
