Abstract
Harmful aquatic organisms introduced by ship movement cause marine ecosystem disturbances and are in the form of ballastwater and biofouling. Harmful marine life from ballastwater has been considerably reduced because mandatory treatment on all vessels is required to install onboard vessels. However, there remains risk of migration because biofouling is recommended to countries for management through the IMO guidelines. In particular, biofouling management has recently attracted attention for achieving IMO GHG reduction targets because it contributes to energy efficiency, as well as there are reasons for marine ecosystem protection. In recent years, increasing international consensus on the need for biofouling management is likely to lead to enforcement regulations. Thus, this study suggests the management method of hull attachment organisms in Korea, focusing on the cases of foreign countries that have regulated hull attachment organisms.
