Apparatus and methods for cleaning and/or inhibiting the formation of biofouling from wetted and/or underwater surfaces of a nautical vessel (2, Fig 1) or of an underwater structure. The apparatus comprises an inlet (12, Fig 2) for admitting ambient water into a conduit 54 for conducting the ambient water so as to flow between at least two electrodes 62 of a plasma discharge generator 60, the plasma discharge generator being adapted to form a plasma between the at least two electrodes to thereby generate a flow of plasma-activated water, and at least one outlet (8, Fig 2) for receiving the flow of plasma-activated water and adapted and/or configured to discharge plasma-activated water into the ambient water so that the plasma-activated water spreads over the wetted and/or underwater surfaces of the vessel.
