Abstract
Marine Biowaste, resulting from natural biological processes or human activities, seriously threatens the environment. Sources and impacts of Marine bio waste are discussed, classifying into two broad categories: Organic and Inorganic. Organic biowastes include those from aquaculture, agricultural runoff, industrial discharges, and urban runoff, while inorganic Biowaste include plastics, microplastics, metals, and synthetic materials. Those sources present pollution, habitat destruction, and impacts on marine species, which together drastically close the ecological balances. The role of zoology in Biowaste degradation is important, because it is concerned with the study of organisms responsible for breaking down organic wastes to make nutrients available. Both National and International legislation, such as UNCLOS and MMPA in the United States, provide a legal framework for the protection of Marine ecosystems from pollution and overexploitation. Advances in Marine biotechnology offer novel solutions to problems related to bio waste management, such as algal Biofuels and integrated waste management systems. Synthetically, biology trends, adaptation of climate change, and models of the circular economy provide potential solutions for future research and sustainable practices. This paper gives reasons for full strategies of Biowaste management with a view towards the preservation of Marine ecosystems and assurance of Environmental sustainability.
