Yet another untapped resource and potential on Planet Earth. Discovering new natural medicines that cure diseases is great news itself. My main concern is, can we tap into this resource without over-exploiting it and upsetting the ecosystem even more than we have?
Besides Fenical's research, we also see a general trend among natural health food enthusiasts in intaking more sea vegetables. Many people believe that sea vegetables have the richest source of nutrients on Earth, especially given how depleted farm soils are. If this trend continues, it seems like it would be only a matter of time before we ruin the ocean.
So we have ruined the land resources, and the ocean is next? Then, after the ocean, what else do we have left?
