(A) Fouling trends on PDMS, IS700, o-PDMS and i-PDMS in Morro Bay over a 15-month immersion period from May 2015 to September 2016. The black line in each dataset corresponds with a pressure washing treatment in March 2016 removing all adhered fouling. Any growth from April 2016 onwards represents a newly established fouling community after pressure-washing the panels. Number of samples (N) = 5. (B,C) Encrusting bryozoan (B) and barnacle (C) adhesion strength to PDMS, IS700, o-PDMS and i-PDMS in Morro Bay. Error bars = standard deviation (SD).
