Earlier this year, BARNACIDE® Founder Dr. Reed Phillips made a captivating appearance on TheGreenBoater podcast. Hosted by Bruno Hoffman, a lifelong boating enthusiast and advocate for sustainable practices in the marine industry, this podcast should be on the must-listen list for all boaters with a love for the planet. As the founder of TheGreenBoater, Bruno has dedicated himself to promoting green products and procedures to combat climate change, particularly within the boating community.
In this enlightening interview, Dr. Phillips and Bruno delve into the topic of biofouling and its environmental implications for boaters. They discuss the detrimental effects of barnacles and other fouling organisms on boat hulls, emphasizing the importance of adopting eco-friendly solutions to mitigate these issues. One such solution highlighted during the conversation is BARNACIDE®, the innovative anti-fouling product that provides effective protection against biofouling while minimizing harm to the marine environment.
A particularly striking revelation made by the host is the staggering environmental impact of traditional ablative antifouling paints. Bruno emphasizes that painting a boat with four gallons of this type of paint is equivalent to pouring four gallons of harmful chemicals directly into the ocean, an alarming realization that underscores the urgent need for more sustainable alternatives.
Listeners of TheGreenBoater podcast can expect to gain valuable insights into eco-friendly boating products and practices aimed at reducing ocean pollution. Through interviews with boaters, manufacturers, scientists, and marine industry experts, the podcast explores the latest innovations and initiatives in environmentally conscious boating.
At TheGreenBoater, their mission is clear: to enhance the boating experience while minimizing its environmental footprint. By advocating for simple yet impactful changes in behavior and product choices, TheGreenBoater aims to mobilize One Million Boaters to take the pledge to change one thing and help reduce ocean pollution.
