As part of the consistent implementation of the GloFouling partnership project, a ground-breaking Global Industry Alliance (GIA) has been launched on June, 8 2020, coinciding with the World Ocean Day’s celebration, to tackle two of the most pressing environmental issues– invasive species and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The aim of the maritime champions
joining the GIA is to work together with GloFouling Partnerships to leverage human, technological and financial resources; facilitate industry input into policy development and a positive pull for reform processes; and develop and disseminate technological solutions to improve biofouling management.

On this wake, The GloFouling Partnership project PCU (Project coordination Unit) has convened an online information webinar, on June 22, 2020 to provide with general overview on the GIA, its objectives, the benefices of joining the GIA alliance and what are the next steps. For the instance, four majors industries with wide-experience in marine Biofouling management have joined the GIA, namely ecosubsea (Norway), hullwiper (UAE), cleansubsea (Australia) and sonihull (UK), and as indicated by the technical project manager, the GIA is open to any industrial entities, large or small, wanting to join the collective effort to address the global environmental challenges such as marine bioinvasions and biofouling issues.

The Regional organization for the conservation of the environment of the red sea and the Gulf of Aden (PERSGA) which is one of the regional strategic partners in the 5-year GEF-UNDP-IMO GloFouling Partnerships Project, has participated in this webinar. Ms. Lilia Khodjet El Khil, the technical project manager, presented the webinar alongside with two GIA members CleanSubSea and HullWiper.
