The Marine Aliens II team has continued with their examination of vessel hulls in marinas and ports in the UK. During the 2009-10 autumn/winter lift-out at a Plymouth marina, fouling of the hulls of approximately 35 additional yachts and motor cruisers was sampled by the team at the University of Plymouth/ MBA, enabling the presence of non-native species to be assessed in detail.
