Shark Skin Inspires ship Coating
is the title of the article on
http://www.wired.com/news/technology//,66833-0.html

(hope it comes up)
It is about an experimental coating aimed at large ships because of the large expense of keeping the clean. Sharks do not have an algae or barnacle problem and don't have to be copper coated every 3 years. The structure of their miniscule scales evidently totally discourages anything from growing on them. That's what they are trying to replicate with plastics and rubber at the U of Florida (funded by the Navy).
