Marine Bioresources - Prospects and Obstacles

Marine Bioresources: Prospects and Obstacles explores the pivotal role of marine bioresources in biotechnology and ecosystem services. It offers insights into the interactions between living and non-living components, ecosystem dynamics, biological invasions, and ecological restoration. This book aims to provide an in-depth understanding of habitat diversity and conservation strategies through a myriad of global case studies. Edited and authored by experts in the field, it aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the most current resource for students, marine biologists, conservationists, policymakers, and environmental NGOs.

In addition to the extensive discussion on ecosystem functions and biodiversity, the book emphasizes the importance of global efforts in achieving sustainable development goals. It encompasses the latest scientific literature, aimed at enriching the knowledge and practices of various stakeholders in marine biology and conservation. The comprehensive case studies contributed by experts highlight practical applications and strategies for ecological restoration and habitat diversity, making it a valuable resource for ongoing environmental initiatives and policymaking.
