“…However, current chemical UVR protection is not adequate because commercially available sunscreens lack photostability and can produce free radicals leading to further skin damage, irritation, and allergic reactions (Gaspar et al 2008 ; Gaspar and Maia Campos 2006 ; Greenspoon et al 2013 ; Kawakami and Gaspar 2015 ). In addition, the UV-filter compounds (i.e., oxybenzone and benzophenone-3) used in cosmetic products (within sunscreens) and in the packaging industry, usually reach wastewater and groundwater, resulting in the destruction of ecosystems and environmental pollution (Chaves Lopes et al 2020 ; Sánchez-Quiles et al 2020 ; Sharifan et al 2016 ). As the level of UVR reaching the surface of the Earth will continue to rise, it is critically important to get enhanced UV protection, and using natural marine sunscreens like MAAs presents an exciting opportunity to be explored further.…”

Bioactive compounds from marine environments represent a rich source of bioproducts for potential use in medicine and biotechnology. To discover and identify novel marine natural products (MNPs), evaluating diverse biological activities is critical. Increased sensitivity and specificity of omics technologies, especially next-generation high-throughput sequencing combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance, are speeding up the discovery of novel bioactive compounds. Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) isolated from many marine microorganisms are among highly promising MNPs characterized by ultraviolet radiation (UV) absorbing capacities and are recognized as a potential source of ecologically friendly sunscreens. MAAs absorb damaging UV radiation with maximum absorption in the range of 310–360 nm, including both UVA and UVB ranges. MAAs are also characterized by other biological activities such as anti-oxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory activities. The application of modern omics approaches promoted some recent developments in our understanding of MAAs’ functional significance and diversity. This review will summarize the various modern tools that could be applied during the identification and characterization of MNPs, including MAAs, to further their innovative applications. Key points • New omics technologies are speeding up the discovery of novel bio-products • The vast diversity of bioactive capacities of marine natural products described • Marine microorganisms as a source of environmentally friendly sunscreens

“…For example, the toxicity of both organic and inorganic sunscreen compounds to sea urchins, diatoms, and amphipods increases with increasing salinity [ 171 ], and salinity is increasing in regions where evaporation exceeds precipitation. Also, ocean acidification amplified the potential toxicity (as measured by biomarkers) of the benzophenone BP-3 for the yellow clam Amarilladesma mactroides [ 172 ]. In another study, the mortality of the coral Acropora tenuis was higher when exposed to sunscreen, oxybenzone, and high temperatures as compared to high temperatures alone [ 173 ].…”

Variations in stratospheric ozone and changes in the aquatic environment by climate change and human activity are modifying the exposure of aquatic ecosystems to UV radiation. These shifts in exposure have consequences for the distributions of species, biogeochemical cycles, and services provided by aquatic ecosystems. This Quadrennial Assessment presents the latest knowledge on the multi-faceted interactions between the effects of UV irradiation and climate change, and other anthropogenic activities, and how these conditions are changing aquatic ecosystems. Climate change results in variations in the depth of mixing, the thickness of ice cover, the duration of ice-free conditions and inputs of dissolved organic matter, all of which can either increase or decrease exposure to UV radiation. Anthropogenic activities release oil, UV filters in sunscreens, and microplastics into the aquatic environment that are then modified by UV radiation, frequently amplifying adverse effects on aquatic organisms and their environments. The impacts of these changes in combination with factors such as warming and ocean acidification are considered for aquatic micro-organisms, macroalgae, plants, and animals (floating, swimming, and attached). Minimising the disruptive consequences of these effects on critical services provided by the world’s rivers, lakes and oceans (freshwater supply, recreation, transport, and food security) will not only require continued adherence to the Montreal Protocol but also a wider inclusion of solar UV radiation and its effects in studies and/or models of aquatic ecosystems under conditions of the future global climate.

“…PABA), octocrylene, octinoxate and many of the salicylic acids are known endocrine disruptors, and may cause pathologies such as acute feminization in juveniles and males, as well as inducing significant behavioural changes that may have an impact on reproductive competitiveness and effort et al, 2020). In shellfish, oxybenzone exposure can intensify the manifestations of ocean acidification, potentially altering shell formation (Chaves Lopes et al, 2020). Marine microplastic debris is now considered a global scourge, and the coupling of sunscreen pollution with micro-/nano-plastics pollution enhances the toxicity of both stressors (Beiras et al, 2018;O'Donovan et al, 2020;Achar et al, 2021;Na et al, 2021;Song et al, 2021;Montero et al, 2022).…”

“…For some invertebrates, especially corals, oxybenzone exposure can exacerbate the pathologies induced by heat stress (Muñiz‐González & Martínez‐Guitarte, 2020; Wijgerde et al, 2020). In shellfish, oxybenzone exposure can intensify the manifestations of ocean acidification, potentially altering shell formation (Chaves Lopes et al, 2020).

1. Sunscreen pollution can be a symptom of unsustainable tourism and coastal development, impacting marine and aquatic resources. When introduced into marine and freshwater ecosystems, sunscreen pollution can cause a cascade of insults to the ecological structure, from impacting primary production to reducing wildlife reproductive viability and fecundity.2. Without intervention, tourism and its associated development in these coastal areas may become self-destructive, ultimately degrading or destroying the natural resources that are the principal attractions. The environmental sciences that focus on pollution, such as ecotoxicology, environmental contaminant surveys and monitoring, and ecological risk assessments are critical for both describing the pollution phenomenon and identifying pollution sources, as well as providing the basis for mitigation.3. As a case study, the Republic of Palau has taken the step of implementing a precautionary governance policy to tourism that conserves and protects its marine and aquatic resources from chemical factors that are known to contribute to sunscreen and cosmetic pollution. 4. Governance policies can inspire the cosmetic and fashion industries to innovate product formulations that are shown to be ecologically safera critical and viable option for pollution mitigation and an essential component for sustained conservation. Safer products and a precautionary approach to governance, when combined with ecologically and culturally cognizant branding and education, may contribute to an authentic experience that effectively promotes environmentally sustainable tourism.
