Abstract
As the global population growth pressures ecosystems and natural resources, transitioning towards sustainable systems is essential. The circular bioeconomy offers a forward-looking framework that redefines how we manage biological resources, reduce waste, and promote renewable solutions. Thus, aquatic biotechnology emerges as a powerful tool which supports the development of innovative products and services that may contribute to solving food insecurity, energy demands, pollution, and resource scarcity challenges. This paper explores the recent advancements in aquatic biotechnology, focusing on its applications in sustainable food production, biofuels, high-value bioproducts, and bioremediation. It assesses the challenges of scaling these innovations while highlighting the vast opportunities they present for environmental management and achieving global sustainability targets. With the right synergy between research, policy, and industry, aquatic biotechnology could drive the blue bioeconomy into a new era of resilience and regeneration.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Management offers research and opinions on use and conservation of natural resources, protection of habitats and control of hazards, spanning the field of environmental management without regard to traditional disciplinary boundaries. The journal aims to improve communication, making ideas and results from any field available to practitioners from other backgrounds. Contributions are drawn from biology, botany, chemistry, climatology, ecology, ecological economics, environmental engineering, fisheries, environmental law, forest sciences, geosciences, information science, public affairs, public health, toxicology, zoology and more.
As the principal user of nature, humanity is responsible for ensuring that its environmental impacts are benign rather than catastrophic. Environmental Management presents the work of academic researchers and professionals outside universities, including those in business, government, research establishments, and public interest groups, presenting a wide spectrum of viewpoints and approaches.
