This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions of marine biotechnology development in Iran. It discusses the roles and responsibilities of key institutions involved in marine biotechnology, including the Offshore Knowledge Technology and Industries Development Headquarters, the Fisheries Organization of Iran, and the Environmental Protection Organization. The review highlights the strategic roadmap for marine technologies, focusing on natural compound extraction, marine biotechnology policies, and the establishment of research infrastructure. It addresses challenges in data collection, legal frameworks, and stakeholder coordination while emphasizing the need for improved research and development infrastructure, international collaboration, and effective policy-making. The review concludes with recommendations for enhancing marine biotechnology through government support, private sector involvement, and international cooperation, aiming to position Iran as a leader in this emerging field.
