> it’s toxic to marine life
I mean... working as intended? It's marine life that makes up the growth.
- reportingsjr 3y agoThe intent isn't to destroy marine life. The intent is to prevent things from sticking to and growing on the bottom of ships.
- moffkalast 3y ago... by destroying marine life before it can stick on. The oldest antifouling were copper plates as they're an effective biocide. Lots of paints still use it today.
