Antifouling paints used on boats typically contain biocides to prevent the growth of organisms like barnacles, algae, and molluscs on the hull. These biocides can be toxic to marine life if they leach into the water. The level of toxicity can vary depending on the specific formulation of the antifouling paint and the concentration of biocides used.
​
Copper-based antifouling paints, for example, release copper ions into the water, which can be harmful to aquatic organisms if present in high concentrations. Other biocides, such as tributyltin (TBT), have been banned in many countries due to their severe toxicity and environmental persistence.
