The Oceans and Human Health—From
Australia to Antarctica: The Benefits and
Detriments of Marine Microbes and Their
Linkages to Our Daily Lives
Much of the U.S. population lives along
the coast and many of us are acutely aware of the importance
of the ocean for food, transportation, recreation, and
more. Often called the “unseen majority,” billions of marine
microbes are working behind the scenes to keep the ocean
functioning the way it does. The effects of these microbes
are both beneficial and, in some cases, detrimental to the
oceans and human health. With examples from her research
around the globe, Dr. Dyhrman will discuss the benefits
and detriments of marine microbes and their linkages to
our daily lives.
