1. A system for inhibiting growth of marine organisms on a submerged surface comprising:

  • a driver board, said driver board having an electrical signal output;

    a magna-polar filter, said magna-polar filter having an electrical signal input and an electrical transducer output, said electrical signal input of said magna-polar filter being in electrical connection with said electrical signal output of said driver board, wherein said filter receives said electrical signal output from said driver board and generates an electrical signal having enhanced frequencies, said electrical signal having enhanced frequencies being electrically communicated to said driver board thereby enhancing said electrical signal output to an electrical signal output having enhanced frequencies;

    a plurality of transducers, each said transducer having an electrical input, each said electrical input being electrically connected to said electrical signal output of said driver board to receive said electrical signal output having enhanced frequencies, each said transducer converts said electrical signal having enhanced frequencies to a first acoustic signal; and

    wherein said transducers are firmly attached to said submerged surface to communicate said first acoustic signal to said submerged surface to inhibit growth of said marine organisms on said submerged surface.
