Abstract

To provide a simple apparatus for removing deposits such as marine organisms from a wall of an underwater structure by applying a natural force such as wave force and tidal force and not by chemicals and the like, in which the apparatus includes many floating bodies (1) prepared by linking the apparatus to perform an operation for removing deposits, and deforms with floating and repeats collision with the wall of the underwater structure to allow effective removal of deposits such as marine organisms. The apparatus for removing marine organisms and the like by floating and colliding the removing apparatus around and with, respectively, a surface of or a position about an underwater or undersea structure, in which the apparatus includes a plurality of elongated spherical hollow bodies or solid bodies (1) to link each other and a protection cover (5) to cover an outer circumference of the hollow body or the solid body, wherein the protection cover is made of a resin having a durometer hardness ranging from 75 to 85.
