PODCAST: How Sea Urchins Inspired Antifoul, with Finsulate

Clean Sailors podcast, How Sea Urchins Inspired Antifoul, with Finsulate

 

With studies showing that traditional antifoul paint on the bottom of our boats is contributing extraordinary amounts of chemicals and microplastics to our waters, the case for biocide-free and paint-free solutions is high. In this episode, we speak with Dr. Rik Breur, winner of the European Inventor Award 2019, material scientist and founder of revolutionary antifoul product, Finsulate, about why we should care about our bottoms and how nature inspired his solution to this ocean pollution problem.
