Key Points

Calcium ions significantly improve the protein-mediated attachment of marine organisms to submerged surfaces,
The experiment found that calcium's involvement can lead to effective solutions against biofouling,
Assessment of the attachment process was conducted using a controlled laboratory setup involving marine organisms,
These findings may enable the development of new adhesives by mimicking biological adhesion mechanisms.
