Biofouling is divided into microfouling--biofilm formation and bacterial adhesion--and macrofouling--attachment of larger organisms. Due to the distinct chemistry and biology that determine what prevents them from settling, organisms are also classified as hard- or soft-fouling types. Calcareous (hard) fouling organisms include barnacles, encrusting bryozoans, mollusks
