Quagga Mussel Coating Project

This paper summarizes a coating application to a diver’s barge and field performance evaluation process for a system that prevents quagga mussels from attachment. The coating system utilizes two separate manufactures for the one system on the immersion side, combined to create a non adhering quagga mussel barrier coating.

This paper summarizes a coating application to a diver’s barge and field performance evaluation process for a system that prevents quagga mussels from attachment. The coating system utilizes two separate manufactures for the one system on the immersion side, combined to create a non adhering quagga mussel barrier coating. The system was tested on a working barge, in multiple locations used by the divers. It is taken apart and transported from lakes to reservoirs. The barge is subjected to two different environmental conditions. One system is above the water line and exposed to UV, and the other is in immersion and exposed directly to constant quagga mussel contact.
