To Quote Ralph:
>>Here in San Diego the Enviro-Wackos have come up with a bottom paint that
will not hurt the little fishies. It was applied to a boat bottom (sailboat
of course) and still works after a whole two months. Whoopee!<<<
Here in Ohio the farmers load up ponds with Copper Sulfphate to the point
where the ponds are totally blue. The fish do fine, the algae dies and the
people eat the fish. Copper Sulphate is much better at suppressing growth
than Copper Oxide because of its total solubility. Nobody is screaming here
in Ohio. I suspect that the Enviro-Whacko's have no real evidence of damage
caused by antifouling paints but just suppose it happens.
Getting all worked up about problems that don't really exist is akin to us
being aghast at getting 1mpg with a boat and then operating it for 100 miles
in a season.
I know a guy who mixed up his own bottom paint. The protection was total for
the boat and everything within three feet of it at the dock.
