Since ancient times, seaweeds have been employed as source of highly bioactive secondary metabolites that could act key medicinal components. Furthermore, research into the biological activity certain seaweed compounds has progressed significantly, with an emphasis on their composition and application for human animal nutrition. Seaweeds many uses: they are consumed fodder, used in medicines, cosmetics, energy, fertilizers, industrial agar alginate biosynthesis. The beneficial effects mostly due to presence minerals, vitamins, phenols, polysaccharides, sterols, well several other compounds. These seem antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antimicrobial, anti-diabetic activities. Recent advances limitations a nutraceutical terms bioavailability explored order better comprehend therapeutic development. To further understand mechanism action chemicals, more is needed investigation potential usage pharmaceutical companies applications, ultimate objective developing sustainable healthier products. this review collect information about role nutritional, pharmacological, industrial, biochemical impact health.

Abstract The development and recycling of biomass production can partly solve issues energy, climate change, population growth, food feed shortages, environmental pollution. For instance, the use seaweeds as feedstocks reduce our reliance on fossil fuel resources, ensure synthesis cost-effective eco-friendly products biofuels, develop sustainable biorefinery processes. Nonetheless, in several biorefineries is still infancy stage compared to terrestrial plants-based lignocellulosic biomass. Therefore, here we review seaweed with focus production, economical benefits, feedstock for anaerobic digestion, biochar, bioplastics, crop health, food, livestock feed, pharmaceuticals cosmetics. Globally, could sequester between 61 268 megatonnes carbon per year, an average 173 megatonnes. Nearly 90% sequestered by exporting deep water, while remaining 10% buried coastal sediments. 500 gigatonnes replace nearly 40% current soy protein production. Seaweeds contain valuable bioactive molecules that be applied antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, contraceptive, anti-inflammatory, anti-coagulants, other cosmetics skincare products.

The ecosystem services can be divided using two major classification systems, the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) and Common International Classification of Services (CICES). In MEA system, are into four service clusters: supporting, provisioning, regulating, cultural. On other hand, CICES system regards “MEA supporting services” as organism natural function (and not an service). Thus, this is basis for all three (provisioning, cultural) provided by one organism. These analyzed type habitat, fauna or flora.
