Abstract The invasion of Rugulopteryx okamurae along the southern European coastline is producing significant ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Its rapid proliferation high adaptability have cause severe ecosystem disruptions, displacing indigenous species altering habitat structures. Various factors, including favorable environmental conditions chemical defenses, contributed to its spread. This situation has prompted urgent interdisciplinary research implementation management strategies. Regulatory frameworks been established address invasive status, aiming control bio-invasion. Valorization strategies could contribute sustainable marine biotechnology advancements. R. presents a wide variety valuable molecules in internal composition, such as alginates, terpenoids or carotenoids, with potential biotechnological applications. Promising results obtained using compost biostimulants, supplements aquafeed part biomaterial develop eco-friendly products. Some like shown anti-inflammatory properties applications nutraceutical industry. However, challenges remain fully understanding biology, impacts, effective measures. Coordinated efforts among scientists, politicians, companies stakeholders are essential mitigate spread explore for resource utilization. economic impacts being studied but there still scarce number studies follow strategy based blue circular economy.
