The Fouling of Mine Casing Surfaces by Fluorescent Organisms

Abstract

It is our goal to develop a comprehensive model for the estimation of the rate of attachment of benthic marine growth on the surfaces of mines deployed in shallow marine environments. The pivotal index, important to naval operations, is the point in time when there is no optical contrast between the mine surfaces and local benthic communities.
