The book discusses recent advances and challenges in terms of science, technology, innovation, and policy for the development of the field; and how marine biotechnology may provide new solutions to some of the grand challenges faced by our society. Written in an accessible language, the book is also recommended as a reference text for decision-makers in government and non-governmental organizations in their efforts to foster the development of a global blue economy.  With less than 5 % of the vast and rich marine environment explored, our seas and oceans represent a virtually unexplored resource for the discovery of novel product, processes, and development of bio-inspired synthetic drugs with biotechnological potential. As such, the marine environment has been considered Earth's last frontier of exploration. Recent advances in molecular techniques are providing the necessary tools to access on a larger scale the still-untapped ocean resources and, consequently, unveil the promise of the blue biotechnology. Governments are recognizing the potential of marine biotechnology to provide solutions to some of the Grand Challenges of the 21st Century such as sustainable energy and food sources, identification of novel drugs for improved health treatments, and providing new industrial materials and processes. For this reason, advances in marine biotechnology may foster the much-needed source of innovation and economic growth in many countries, and pave the way towards the development of a global blue economy, i.e. a new economic model based on the sustainable exploration of our ocean ecosystems."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000839340 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000839340 650_0 $$aMarine biotechnology. 000839340 7001_ $$aRampelotto, Pabulo H. 000839340 7001_ $$aTrincone, Antonio. 000839340 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3319690744$$z9783319690742$$w(OCoLC)1004137598 000839340 830_0 $$aGrand challenges in biology and biotechnology. 000839340 852__ $$bebk 000839340 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-69075-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000839340 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:839340$$pGLOBAL_SET 000839340 980__ $$aEBOOK 000839340 980__ $$aBIB 000839340 982__ $$aEbook 000839340 983__ $$aOnline 000839340 994__ $$a92$$bISE
