The
Issue: More
than
80 percent
of Earth’s
living
organisms
are found
only
in aquatic
ecosystems,
and yet
we know
little
about
their
biochemical
characteristics.
Another
issue
with
marine
biotechnology
is the
fact
that
about
40 percent
of coastal
waters
are currently
unfit
for swimming
because
of bacteria
and pollutants.
