The results of study of diatom fouling of anthropogenic synthetic polymer materials, which have been studied rather poorly, are presented. These substrates are a part of the technogenic waste currently generated in large quantities in the coastal seas. As part of the fouling of opaque matte experimental substrates, including of engineering materials with given surface roughness, 73 diatom taxa were noted, which form communities associated with a particular type of substrate, and are characterize
