This report focuses on marine bioprospecting�the collection of organisms from the marine environment for the purpose of exploring their biotechnology potential in a laboratory. This comprehensive analysis is a milestone towards the understanding of the structure in which marine biotechnology can develop within the context of UK and international law. Given the complexity of maritime and biodiversity affairs, as well as the public uncertainty over aspects of biotechnology and particularly genetic modification, it is worthwhile to spell out the need for governance in marine bioprospecting, which is what the reports accomplishes.
