The main aim of NAUTILUS is to develop and verify the behaviour of a new biobased and biodegradable antifouling paints for marine application and evaluate the environmental impact of them at ecosystem level. NAUTILUS will mitigate marine pollution and the recognition of marine biodiversity as a key factor for the future as stated in the Spanish Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023. The project results will be of relevance in future product development phase of green solutions capable to reduce the use of fossil-based resources and to biodegrade at the end of their life cycle.
