More than seventy percent of Earth�??s surface is covered with marine/salty water. World oldest, most revered & holy texts,
the Vedas term the Ocean as �??Ratnakar�?? or the bestower of immense riches. From times immemorial the oceans have
been a source of inspiration, awe and adventure for humankind. Modern science for the first time in the nineteen fifties
discovered for the first time, potent bioactive, chemical compounds from marine organisms. Ara-C and related nucleotides
were the foremost discoveries of cytotoxic metabolites from marine fauna. These secondary metabolites are bio-synthesized in
the organisms as a means for offense and/or defense in order to sustain their existence in an otherwise highly hostile marine
environment. Umpteen numbers of cytotoxic organic compounds have been isolated from marine organisms�?? particularly
marine fauna. Some of these like the Bryostatins are in final stages of pre-clinical trials and are on the way of becomes potent
drug leads in the future. The unfortunate trend of global warming and climate change has dealt a severe blow to the natural
habitats, threatening the very existence of most of economically valuable marine organisms which can be a gold mine of
priceless chemicals. Most of the Coral reefs have been destroyed, where sponges, soft corals and other organisms take shelter
and grow in a conductive environment. We are fast losing several small marine species by each passing day. Same is case with
the Indian Ocean which like other warm Oceans is at the receiving end of climate change. The situation is alarming, needing
immediate redressal.
