Algae, those little green wonders, play an important role in the life of our planet. They are a diverse group of organisms capable of photosynthesis and are at the heart of many aquatic ecosystems. Algae produce the oxygen necessary for living things to breathe and are an important food source for many species of aquatic organisms. In addition, algae have applications in a variety of fields, including the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. With their unique composition, algae have become a research target for creating sustainable solutions to combat climate change and ensure food security. Thus, algae seem to carry not only the incredible beauty of seascapes, but also a great potential in bringing balance to nature and human society.
