A marine anti-bio-fouling coating 10 , for application onto the surface of a marine article 12 . The coating 10 comprises a self-levelling, self-curing epoxy resin primer adhesive 14 , an adhesive modified epoxy resin binder adhesive 16 and granulated Copper Nickel alloy 18 . When a coated marine article 12 is immersed in water a chemical reaction occurs between the water and the Copper Nickel alloy 18 which causes a film of a complex metal oxide 20 to form on the exterior surface of the layer of Copper Nickel alloy granules 18 . The oxide film 20 forms an inhospitable environment to aquatic organisms and aquatic borers, thereby preventing bio-fouling occurring on the coated marine article. A method of applying the coating 10 to a marine article 12 is also provided.
