ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for preventing re-growth of marine fouling on offshore marine structures comprises one or more flexible, multi-component collars adapted to surround a submerged structural support member of the marine structure. The apparatus is "powered" by the utilization of ocean forces in the form of waves, swells, tides and currents, whereby marine growth is prevented from re-establishing one the structural support member by virtue of the reciprocating motion of the apparatus about the member.
