Making marine biotechnology work for people and nature

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This paper discusses the urgent need to align marine biotechnology with the principles of sustainability, equity, and inclusivity to effectively contribute to the emerging blue economy. The authors argue that current practices in marine biotechnology are not adequately addressing these principles, thereby hindering its potential benefits for both people and nature. By advocating for a more holistic approach, the study highlights strategies to integrate marine biotechnology into sustainable development frameworks, ensuring that it serves both ecological and societal needs. The findings emphasize the importance of collaborative governance and innovative practices to foster a more equitable marine biotechnology sector.
