Description

This project is an extension to the system that is currently installed on RRS Sir David Attenborough. DRAGGONE is an ultrasonic system that prevents build up of microbiological animals and algae on the hull. This then prevents the transfer of invasive species in and out of protected zones like Antarctica. This system will extend the current one fitted to include sea inlets and spaces open to the sea that are not covered by the current system.
