They're basically fouling up

It's like fouling up a suicide.

They're basically fouling up Earth's respiratory and circulatory systems.

And you're fouling' me up again. That's all you ever do!

Problems with propeller fouling, blocked intake pipes and damaged drive shafts have been reported.

It has no bacteria on its surface, no fouling on its surface, no barnacles.

The introduction of non native species or diseases, including from ballast water and hull fouling, is a global concern.

On 5 October 2001, IMO adopted the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti fouling Systems on Ships, which includes such requirements.

How did destroying driving licenses in Palestine preserve Israeli security? How was it preserved by digging up runways, uprooting olive trees, and fouling wells?

The results of such research can be used to develop anti fouling and anti corrosion materials as well as create an understanding of how microbes colonize surfaces.

In 1999, the IMO Assembly adopted a resolution calling on the Marine Environment Protection Committee to develop a legally binding instrument to address the harmful effects of anti fouling systems used on ships.

92. Welcomes the forthcoming entry into force on 17 September 2008 of the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti Fouling Systems on Ships, 2001 International Maritime Organization, document AFS CONF 26, annex.

The resolution called for a global prohibition on the application of organotin compounds, which act as biocides in anti fouling systems on ships, by 1 January 2003 and a complete prohibition by 1 January 2008.

58. Calls upon all States that have not yet done so to become parties to the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti fouling Systems on Ships International Maritime Organization, document AFS CONF 26, annex.

This fouling up is a continuous thread running through American military interventions since the Vietnam War. The US deploys overwhelming firepower, either directly or by arming opposition groups, shatters local governmental structures, and then pulls out, leaving the country in shambles.

Ships also affect biodiversity through the release of alien invasive species transported in ballast water and in fouling assemblages on ship bottoms.133 The threats to biodiversity from invasions of alien species in the high seas are believed to be substantially less than in coastal waters, because natural ocean circulation causes biotic exchanges over vast scales.
