Marine living resources (herein referred to as MLR) are organisms that inhabit water bodies such as oceans, seas, and others. The ocean and seas cover at least a third of the surface of the Earth and are home to an estimated 250,000 known species of marine living resources.   Over the past decades, MLR has come under enormous existential threat in different spheres, majorly from human activities such as over-exploitation, overfishing, extractions, and increased pollution.  In the aspect of pollution alone, it is estimated that over 1.7 million tons of plastic annually enter the ocean .  Boyle and Redgwell noted that microplastics are increasingly threatening marine life. Still, the recent climate change patterns have also rapidly become a threat to MLR, as witnessed by their effects on the “polar ecosystems and the change in the distribution of marine species.”    Additionally, as already highlighted, overfishing has become a driving force and threat t...
