An antifouling layer stack comprising a first layer element, a silicone layer, and a second layer element. The silicone layer is a light guide for UV radiation, and may include embedded UV light sources. The first layer element is situated on a first surface of the silicone layer, and the second layer element is situated on a second surface of the silicone layer. The first and second layer elements differ in composition from the silicone layer. The first layer element facilitates transmission of the UV radiation from the silicone layer to an external medium, and may provide protection and improve the structural integrity of the stack. The second layer element may also provide protection and structural integrity. The second layer element may be reflective, and may provide an adhesive surface for attaching the stack to a vessel.
