Barnacles secrete an adhesive which allows them to stick to things (such as rocks or ship hulls) underwater. Most types of adhesive work only on dry surfaces, so an adhesive which works underwater is rather unusual. It is also medically significant, since it is sometimes useful to glue together skin or other body parts which are not dry (due to blood, lymph, or other bodily fluids).
