Brown macroalgae are rich in unique compounds such as phlorotannins, fucoxanthin, and sulfated polysaccharides, which exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research emphasizes the importance of conserving marine biodiversity while promoting the utilization of seaweed resources in tropical regions. By mapping chemodiversity and bioactivity, the study provides valuable insights for developing innovative marine-based products that align with global sustainability efforts. This contributes directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3 \u2013 Good Health and Well-being, SDG 12 \u2013 Responsible Consumption and Production, SDG 14 \u2013 Life Below Water, SDG 15 \u2013 Life on Land).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Full article: <a href=\"https:\/\/ejabf.journals.ekb.eg\/article_418563.html\">https:\/\/ejabf.journals.ekb.eg\/article_418563.html<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meet the Researchers:<strong><br \/><\/strong>This study was conducted by Safri Ishmayana, Mostefa Fodil, Danang A.
