In the Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) and other maritime sectors which operate at sea for long periods, an important aspect of biofouling is related to the type and frequency of inspections and biofouling removal procedures.\n                \n                \n                    Methods\n                    This study investigated important parameters of macrofouling (\n                        e.g. composition, including the presence of non-indigenous species, thickness, and weight) from communities growing on samples that emulate tubular components of marine renewable devices. The trials were performed during short periods of submersion (one to eight weeks) in the seasons when the colonisation process should be most intensive (spring, summer, and autumn). Furthermore, the frictional resistance forces generated during the scraping of biofouling from those components were investigated.\n                \n                \n                    Results\n                    Overall, results provide insights on the growth rates and removal requirements of biofouling in marine components. The results show that, while biofouling growth in early colonization stages might not present great detrimental effects to wave energy components, the consequent marine corrosion (fostered by biofouling) and the settlement of non-indigenous species (NIS) should be factors of concern.\n                \n                \n                    Conclusions\n                    Performing biofouling-related maintenance activities after the peak of maximum growth and reproduction (during the warmer seasons in temperate to cold environments) is suggested to reduce the number and frequency of activities. NIS can be detected at very early stages in the colonization process, highlighting the importance of biofouling monitoring and the implementation of biosecurity risk assessment plans early in the operational stage of MRE projects.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/openreseurope.14854.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]],"date-time":"2024-06-19T11:35:10Z","timestamp":1718796910000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.68336\/openreseurope.updatepolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Experimental insights on biofouling growth in marine renewable structures"],"prefix":"10.68336","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1150-8355","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Pedro Almeida","family":"Vinagre","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Environment and Licensing, WavEC Offshore Renewables, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gon\u00e7alo","family":"Fonseca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering and Operations, WavEC Offshore Renewables, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2986-9757","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"M\u00e1rio","family":"Vieira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Engineering and Operations, WavEC Offshore Renewables, Lisbon, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"13904","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"22770","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1365-2664.12207"},{"key":"22771","unstructured":"Anderson MJ, Gorley RN, Clarke KR: PERMANOVA+ for PRIMER: guide to software and statistical methods.
