Marine resources and industry have become one of the most important pillars in economic development all over the world. However, corrosion of materials is always the most serious problem to the infrastructure and equipment served in marine environment. Researchers have found that microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) and marine bio-fouling are two main mechanisms of marine corrosions due to the complicated marine environment and marine organisms. This article summarized the latest research progress about these two mechanisms and indicated that both MIC and marine bio-fouling are closely related to the biofilms on material surfaces formed by the marine microorganisms and their metabolites. As a result, to prevent the occurrence of MIC and bio-fouling, it is important to control the microorganisms in biofilms or prevent the adhesion and formation of biofilms. The traditional method of using chemical bactericide or antifoulant faces the problems of pollution and microorganism resistance. This article introduced four research approaches about the new tendency of applying new materials and technologies to cooperate with traditional chemicals to achieve better and longer effects with lower environment pollution through synergistic actions. Finally, some future research tendencies were proposed for whole marine anti-corrosion and anti-fouling areas.
