The invention involves an ultrasonic transducer element (101; 201) comprising an ultrasonic vibrator (10) and a transducer body (20) having an input end (21) associated with the ultrasonic vibrator (10) and having an output end (22) adapted for attachment to an object (2) to be treated with ultrasonic vibrations.The ultrasonic transducer element further comprises a support ring (130) arranged around the output end of the transducer body, and pressing means (140; 150) cooperating with the support ring and engaging the transducer body for exerting on the transducer body pressing force towards the object (2).A method for protecting the object against bio-fouling involves firmly pressing onto the object an ultrasonic transducer element comprising at least one ultrasonic vibrator and a transducer body, and energizing the ultrasonic transducer element to generate ultrasonic vibrations into the object;wherein the pressing force engages the transducer body.
