About this Research Topic
Marine ecosystems provide tremendous services and benefits to humans and the environment, and in turn, attract the attention of various stakeholders.
Marine related-sources of bioprospecting such as mangroves, corals, pelagic fish, sandy-bottom shellfish, deep-sea animals, microorganisms, etc. are also vitally important for the stability of marine food webs. This theme aims to understand the complex relationships between marine life and climate and to use this knowledge to support sustainable bioprospecting and conserve valuable marine resources. By searching the ocean for biological or physical resources, the theme hopes to reveal any secrets to help fight climate change. This research topic is an opportunity to expand the dialogue of sustainability in the exploitation of marine resources.
Research papers on the following topics are welcomed：
● Focus on the adaptive relationship between marine life and changing climate, combining the examination of the impact and responses of anthropogenic changes on marine ecosystems.
● Further exploring and advancing marine resources and their potential activities to determine their capacity and resilience toward the changing climate.
● Connectivity between other similar collaborations and emerging technologies of marine resources in the marine environment.
● The dynamics of marine organisms as mitigation strategies for future sustainable use by humans and the environment.
