Environment and Climate
The marine microbiome will be at the heart of understanding ocean ecosystems and the sustainability of the services they provide to society
Food Value Chain
The marine microbiome will be key to securing and facilitating sustainable production of food from our oceans


Biodiscovery
The marine microbiome will propel biodiscovery, providing new sources of value to society
Cross-Cutting Challenges
Addressing cross-cutting challenges will unlock the potential for a microbiome-based blue economy, leading to high quality food products, biological discoveries, and healthy marine ecosystems
