Preface Over the last decade or so, there has been an explosion in the global interest in marine algae including both seaweeds (macroalgae) and microalgae. This has commonly focused on their application as a source of bioenergy but also, more recently, on their potential as an “untapped” resource of natural products. In tandem wit
