Abstract: The present embodiments relate to an antifouling polymer comprising a plurality of repeating units. At least a portion of the plurality of repeating units comprises medetomidine, or an enantiomer, base or salt thereof, covalently bound to the repeating unit through a hydrolysable bond. The antifouling polymer can comprised in an antifouling composition applied as a surface coating on underwater or submersible structures to prevent or at least inhibit marine biofouling on surfaces of the structures.
