Marine biotechnology

Marine biotechnology is the study and use of ocean organisms and their materials to develop useful products and processes. It involves exploring marine life, such as algae, bacteria, and animals, to discover compounds, enzymes, and genes that can improve medicine, agriculture, environmental management, and industry. By harnessing the unique features of marine organisms, scientists create innovations like new drugs, biofuels, biodegradable materials, and environmental cleanup techniques. This field leverages the vast and largely unexplored biodiversity of the oceans to solve global challenges and develop sustainable solutions.
