Modern marine biologists navigate a rapidly changing seascape. Coral bleaching events now occur annually, forcing researchers to develop AI-powered monitoring systems and assisted evolution techniques for resilient super-corals. The deep-sea mining boom threatens undiscovered ecosystems, sparking urgent calls for international regulation. Microplastic pollution has infiltrated every ocean layer, even Arctic ice, with studies revealing toxic effects on plankton—the base of marine food webs. Meanwhile, bioprospecting for marine-derived medicines accelerates, from cancer-fighting sponge compounds to algae-based biofuels.
