Marine biofouling—organisms attaching to underwater surfaces—has plagued shipping for millennia. Today, it causes massive fuel waste and forces the industry to rely on toxic coatings that harm marine ecosystems. Eliminating hull fouling could save the shipping industry up to $30 billion in fuel costs and 200 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually.
Named after the Greek sea nymphs who protected sailors from ocean perils, NEREIA is committed to protecting both the shipping industry and the oceans it depends on.
