We have concluded our Latin America and Caribbean #biofouling focused events in the Republic of Panama! It has been an enriching experience with insightful presentations and discussions from representatives of the projects beneficiary countries of the region, such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Jamaica, Madagascar, Mexico, Panama, Peru, and Suriname, as well as developed countries, conservation, academia, research, women association representatives, and industry. Key outcomes include a greater awareness and knowledge of the biofouling issue, a renewed commitment to enhancing #gender #diversity and #inclusion within the #maritime sector, and innovative strategies for #biofoulingmanagement to protect our #marine #environment. Recommendations going forward emphasize the need for continuous professional development for women, stronger mentorship programmes, and collaborative efforts between governments, industry and academia to advance biofouling research and best practices. With the aim of creating a more inclusive and supportive maritime sector, we look forward to replicating the #biofouling focused events in Africa and Asia/Pacific.

Day 3 of our event marked a successful delivery of an in-water cleaning technology demonstration! This hands-on demonstration allowed more than a 100 participants to gain deeper understanding of the complexity involved in biofouling management. The participants were able to interact with the team of experts from HullWiper Ltd and Talleres Industriales, asking insightful questions about the technology’s capabilities, operations efficiency and environmental impact. HullWiper Ltd showcased the deployment of its technology in the water, its attachment to the vessel and the detailed functioning of its adjustable high pressure seawater jets to remove hull fouling. This event marks a significant step forward for developing countries in capacitating and advancing sustainable biofouling solutions. Sincere appreciation goes to our collaborative partners: MTCC Caribbean MTCC Latin America, Talleres Industriales, HullWiper Ltd, Ashley Coutts, Lino Arosemena, John Armstrong, GEF-UNDP-IMO GloFouling Partnerships, Lilia Khodjet El Khil, PhD International Maritime Organization, Norad - Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation
