I'm afraid that marine organisations LOVE an environment where they are left dry as the tide goes out. Just look at any pier!
That is as maybe. but the ones living on boats don't like the environment, perhaps its the combination of wet/dry, low saline (due to the freshwater river) and moving through the water at intervals.
My father saved a lot of money not using antifouling paint and didn't drop lots of toxic material into the water and never had a problem with marine growth.
