2083263 9118130 PCTABS00008 A device and method for preventing fouling and/or corrosion of the exposed surfaces of a structure which is in contact with seawater, brackish water, fresh water, or a combination of these. The system includes using a structure (10) having an exposed zinc-containing surface (16). At the exposed surface water interface a negative capacitive charge or an asymmetric alternating electrostatic is induced and maintained.
