Coastal areas are home to diverse ecosystems that provide essential goods and services for human wellbeing. Recognition, understanding and appreciation of the various goods and services provided by coastal ecosystems, especially the provisioning and cultural services are of utmost importance today. Systematic exploration of bioactive compounds from marine flora and fauna and deriving pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, as well as promotion of concepts such as the blue gym are essentially linked to human health and sustenance, necessitating measures towards preservation of these ecosystems. They also link Sustainable Development Goals, SDG 3: good health and wellbeing and, SDG-14: life below water.
沿海地区是多种生态系统的家园，为人类福祉提供了重要的商品和服务。当今，认识、理解和欣赏沿海生态系统提供的各种商品和服务，尤其是供应品和文化服务，是极其重要的。系统地从海洋动植物中探索生物活性化合物，并从中提取药物和营养保健品，以及推广“蓝色健身房”等理念，与人类健康和营养息息相关，需要采取措施保护这些生态系统。它们还与可持续发展目标 3（良好健康与福祉）和可持续发展目标 14（水下生物）相关联。
