Marine biotechnology is a field that focuses on the exploration and use of marine organisms, such as algae, coral, and microorganisms, for various applications. This discipline harnesses the unique biological properties of these organisms to develop new products and technologies, including pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and environmental solutions. Researchers in marine biotechnology study the genetic and biochemical processes of marine life to discover novel compounds and materials. This can lead to advancements in medicine, such as new treatments for diseases, as well as sustainable practices for aquaculture and marine conservation.
