The article is in today's Irish Independent but is behind a pay wall so there's no point in posting a link.
It's apparently published in the journal Science of the Total Environment but I didn't go searching for that online.
Apologies to those who are frustrated by unreadable screenshots.

You can often see where a grey mullet has done just that on a boat. But it’s a bit random, you’d definitely need to train them

Yes and they're noisy little eaters sometimes.

Too many posters on here carping through their Aholeholes.

Apparently the scientists have had dock structures coated with the new coating and initial results are promising.

Bit of an overreaction! Suggest you mull it over a while.

They would have to be in the right Plaice though! or on the correct Perch.

No. The future for this thread looks Bleak. Most of what's posted is Crappie.

It's a marketing ploy by a bunch of sharks.

The idea is a Lobster think about but could be a Ray of hope.
