They banned it as part of bottom paints. The IMO treaties require no Biocides be added to a bottom paint since it kills what attaches to a bottom and tends to leach out into the water around the boat(s).
Nobody told West Marine or Peddit that copper was banned. I bought Peddit water based for my dinghy last week with Over 50% copper last week. Tin is the one that is banned.
