2. • Inventor of Blue Biotechnology is Caption James Cook
• (1728-1779)
• It’s meant for study the life of aquatic organisms.
Background Information

3. BLUE BIOTECHNOLOGY
• Blue (Marine) Biotechnology is the use of living
marine resources at (eco-)system concept, organism
at molecular level to provide beneficial solutions for
the society.

4. IMPORTANCE
Blue biotechnology works to preserve aquatic diversity which is very
important for natural stability.
• It provides us with high nutrition's natural food supplement.
• Seaweeds have potential to become useful and environmental friendly
fuel.
• Microalgae and specific verities of sponge has substances that can used
to prevent cancer, tumor, leukemia , and AIDS.
• 50% of fish consumed by people worldwide are result of aquaculture.

9. BLUE BIOTECHNOLOGY WORKS AT
Blue biotechnologies, or marine biotechnologies, are processes
that transform marine resources into services and goods in a
multitude of fields.
This includes micro-organisms (microalgae, bacteria and fungi),
algae and
invertebrates (e.g. starfish, sea cucumbers, sea urchins).

10. BLUE BIOTECHNOLOGY
• Blue biotechnology can also be useful for environmental and
waste management.
• Specifically, there are organisms that produce eco-friendly
substances as well as organisms that absorb harmful toxins
and chemicals.
• Utilizing these organisms may prove helpful with clean water
initiatives and clean-ups.
Advantages
• Living modified organisms may disrupt the natural
ecosystem of the ocean.
• Limited access due to property of other nations and
countries .
Disadvantages

11. IN CONCLUSION.
• Blue biotechnology refers to the utilization of oceanic ecosystems
to create different products.
• Marine biotechnology represents a pivotal sector to provide new useful
tools for key societal challenges in the next future.
