Method of Reducing Bioluminescence Effects Created by Objects Moving through Seawater

Abstract

Once the presence of bioluminescence marine organisms are present in the water through which ships or divers will be operating, a drag reducing agent or an acid neutralizing agent is injected into the water. This substantially eliminates the bioluminescence effect.
