An assembly comprises an object (2, 101, 102, 103) having a surface which is intended to be exposed to water during at least a part of the lifetime thereof. In order to be capable of avoiding biofouling of the surface in a first stage of the lifetime of the assembly, without needing to have a supply of power in order to achieve the anti-fouling effect as desired in that first stage, the assembly furthermore comprises an anti-fouling protector arrangement (30) which is adapted to initially prevent the surface from being contacted by water, and which comprises degradable material. Also, the assembly comprises at least one energy source (20) which is adapted to emit energy for causing the protector arrangement (30) to disintegrate.
