Colonial Marine Bioeroders

Colonial Marine Bioeroders are specialized aquatic organisms, such as certain mollusks and worms, that naturally break down and erode underwater structures like ships, docks, and coral reefs. They do this by burrowing into, consuming, or chemically degrading materials like wood, metal, or concrete over time. While they play a role in natural ecosystems by recycling materials, in industrial or maritime contexts, bioeroders can cause significant damage to infrastructure, necessitating maintenance and protective measures to preserve structures in marine environments.
