Default Copper wire to deter algae in ponds

"Sacha" wrote in message ...


Bit like putting copper on the keel of a boat to deter barnacles etc.,

and copper based antifouling.


Is that what's been banned because it damages sea creatures?

I agree with you there Sacha, I thought it had been banned back in the
1970's when I was involved with the Marine Industry.
