Exploring the Blue Bioeconomy: Marine Bioresources and Sustainable Applications provides an overview of marine bioresources in the blue bioeconomy. The book delivers potential applications of marine macro- and microorganisms in different industries such as biomedical, functional food, pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical, ecotourism, industrially important minerals, and enzymes. Aside from the potential industrial applications, the book gives readers an overview of conversion and sustainable utilization techniques for marine bioresources.
Key Features
Discusses the major sectors associated with the blue bioeconomy and the future potential of each industry for both developed and developing countries.
Covers the most important aspects of seaweeds with respect to commercialization and conservation, including botanical information.
Includes a discussion about potential future applications of marine microorganisms in the blue bioeconomy with research highlights.
Explores the potential industrial applications of marine nematodes and their roles in future agriculture and heavy metal remediation applications.
Summarizes circular economy principles, upcycling, and recycling approaches to marine litter management under the context of the blue bioeconomy.
The book begins by providing an overview of the blue bioeconomy and then advances through the chapters to discuss potential industries, organisms, and conservation techniques to protect ecosystems and associated organisms from overharvesting and pollution. Thus, readers with any level of educational background can easily understand the content. The text of this book is suitable for undergraduates, postgraduates, industrialists, and policymakers working in the different fields of blue bioeconomy.
Sanjeewa KKA has a BSc Honors Degree in Agriculture from the Rajarata University of Sri Lanka, and MSc and a Doctoral Degree in Marine Life Sciences from Jeju National University in South Korea. In 2019, Dr. Sanjeewa began his post-doctoral research in the Marine Bioresource Technology Laboratory of the Department of Marine Life Sciences at the School of Marine Biomedical Science at Jeju National University in South Korea. Following his post-doctoral research, Dr. Sanjeewa joined the Department of Biosystems Technology at the Faculty of Technology at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura as a Senior Lecturer in 2021. Dr. Sanjeewa's research primarily focuses on the bioprospecting of marine organisms to discover novel bioactive secondary metabolites for the development of nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and functional foods. His particular interest lies in investigating the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of natural bioactive compounds for treating fine dust-induced inflammatory responses in humans. Dr. Sanjeewa is a recipient of the Top 2% highly cited researcher recognition (awarded by Elsevier BV and Stanford University) in 2021 and 2022, acknowledging his outstanding contributions to the field of marine life sciences.
