Karl Lander, Director of Environmental Services at Subsea Global Solutions, recently presented at the 3^rd GloFouling R&D Forum and Exhibition in Busan, South Korea. At the forum, he shared advancements in in-water cleaning with capture, focusing on both diver and remotely operated solutions. This approach highlights an essential perspective: while many current solutions lean entirely robotic, diver-based cleaning remains crucial to effective biofouling management.

The event provided a valuable platform to engage with scientists, regulators, and industry leaders on the strong push for unified global standards in biofouling management. Presentations covered a range of topics, from biofouling research and emerging technologies to regulatory updates and the unique challenges faced by developing nations. Subsea Global was proud to showcase that environmentally friendly progress can come from within the industry through innovative, diver-focused solutions.
