In light of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and the EU Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources, environmental biotechnology could make significant contributions in the exploitation of marine resources and addressing key marine environmental problems. In this paper 14 propositions are presented focusing on (i) the contamination of the marine environment, and more particularly how to optimize the use of biotechnology-related tools and strategies for predicting and monitoring contamination and developing mitigation measures; (ii) the exploitation of the marine biological and genetic resources to progress with the sustainable, eco-compatible use of the maritime space (issues are very diversified and include, for example, waste treatment and recycling, anti-biofouling agents; bio-plastics); (iii) environmental/marine biotechnology as a driver for a sustainable economic growth.
鉴于《海洋战略框架指令》（MSFD）和欧盟关于自然资源可持续利用的专题战略，环境生物技术可以在开发海洋资源和解决关键海洋环境问题方面做出重大贡献。本文提出了 14 项建议，重点关注（i）海洋环境的污染，以及如何优化使用与生物技术相关的工具和策略来预测和监测污染并制定缓解措施；（ii）海洋生物和遗传资源的开发，以推进海洋空间的可持续、生态兼容利用（问题非常多样化，包括例如废物处理和回收、防生物污损剂；生物塑料）；（iii）环境/海洋生物技术作为可持续经济增长的驱动力。
