The method and system uses ultrasound (US) transducers in contact with an inboard surface underwater portions of marine vessels or structures. By first digitally generating disruptive, multi-frequency, interfering US waveform signals (complex waveforms, typically replicating a Bessel function) and then converting the signals into analog, the transducers generate disruptive, multi-frequency, interfering US waveforms through the underwater portions of the marine vessels and structures which waveforms disrupt unwanted marine growth on the water-side of the vessel or structure. The digital signals, and also the analog signals, are complex waveform signals, typically produced with a Bessel function. The US transducers are either circular membrane transducers or surface transducers. A computer processor coupled to a memory, generates the complex waveform signals fed to the US transducers.
