Introducing lignocellulosic fibers as the matrix reinforcement in composites is an opportunity for weight reduction and also use of by-products biomass waste from other systems, such agriculture textiles. In case nautical applications, biofouling, meaning damage during service by marine organisms, represents a significant issue. To address this problem, number measures can be taken: these include introduction various types fillers, mainly mineral, composites, tailored treatment fibers, hybrid approaches, including different modifications, or fiber grafting. This review reports state art studies carried out to elucidate performance natural hybrids regards water absorption more specifically exposure seawater prolonged time so simulate conditions. The perspectives on (NFCs) aquatic environments will discussed with respect possible onset degradation biofouling.
