Background Although commonly consumed in Asia, seaweeds are a largely underutilized
food source in the Western world. However, interest is rising, and seaweeds have a major …

Aquaculture nets used in seawater for a long time are susceptible to biofouling, and
antifouling coatings are a cost-effective way to solve this problem. In this study, biogenic …

Around the world, coastal urbanization continues to replace natural marine habitats with
engineered structures, resulting in wholesale changes to shallow-water ecosystems and …

Marine sponges are sessile invertebrates that can be found in temperate, polar and tropical
regions. They are known to be major contributors of bioactive compounds, which are …

Marine biofouling remains one of the key challenges for maritime industries, both for
seafaring and stationary structures. Currently used biocide-based approaches suffer from …

Substituting natural products for traditional poison-killing antifouling agents is an efficient
and promising method to alleviate the increasingly serious ecological crisis and aggravate …
