Abstract

An underwater cladding for an elongate member such as a pipe (10) has outwardly projecting flexible members (16, 24, 28) which are deformed by a current flow to guide water around the elongate member. The elongate members may be in the form of strands or fingers (16), narrow flaps (24) or longitudinally extending flaps (28).
