“…One example is the microbial degradation of pollutants. For example, some bacteria, microalgae, and fungi can break down hydrocarbons and could assist in the mitigation of marine oil spills [ 40 ]. Another example is the challenge in removing the vast amounts of plastics that are accumulating in marine habitats and organisms.…”

“…After entering the sea, plastics are rapidly colonized by microbes, with some bacteria and fungi possessing the capability to degrade plastics. This provides a huge potential for microbial bioremediation of plastic pollution, although complete mineralization has yet to be demonstrated outside the laboratory [ 40 ].…”

The rapid growth in genomic techniques provides the potential to transform how we protect, manage, and conserve marine life. Further, solutions to boost the resilience of marine species to climate change and other disturbances that characterize the Anthropocene require transformative approaches, made more effective if guided by genomic data. Although genetic techniques have been employed in marine conservation for decades and the availability of genomic data is rapidly expanding, widespread application still lags behind other data types. This Essay reviews how genetics and genomics have been utilized in management initiatives for ocean conservation and restoration, highlights success stories, and presents a pathway forward to enhance the uptake of genomic data for protecting our oceans.

“…The ocean, Earth's largest ecosystem, presents a complex ecological environment distinct from terrestrial ecosystems, characterized by high pressure, high salinity, and limited light (Nigam et al., 2019 ; Reuver et al., 2022 ). This unique marine setting necessitates specific adaptations in marine organisms, leading to distinctive metabolic patterns.…”

Marine microorganisms are increasingly recognized as primary producers of marine secondary metabolites, drawing growing research interest. Many of these organisms are unculturable, posing challenges for study. Metagenomic techniques enable research on these unculturable microorganisms, identifying various biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) related to marine microbial secondary metabolites, thereby unveiling their secrets. This review comprehensively analyses metagenomic methods used in discovering marine microbial secondary metabolites, highlighting tools commonly employed in BGC identification, and discussing the potential and challenges in this field. It emphasizes the key role of metagenomics in unveiling secondary metabolites, particularly in marine sponges and tunicates. The review also explores current limitations in studying these metabolites through metagenomics, noting how long‐read sequencing technologies and the evolution of computational biology tools offer more possibilities for BGC discovery. Furthermore, the development of synthetic biology allows experimental validation of computationally identified BGCs, showcasing the vast potential of metagenomics in mining marine microbial secondary metabolites.
