  /AB   ABSTRACT:  Non-ablative coatings based on a vinyl 
     chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer were used. The 
     governing release mechanism was found to be Fickian 
     diffusion. The extent of fouling was evaluated for a 
     number of marine fouling species found at Taylor's 
     Creek, Beaufort, North Carolina,and Pearl Harbour, Oahu 
     Hawaii. The antifoulant was a chlorinated isothiazolone 
     with a hydrocarbon chain attached to the ring nitrogen.
