The invention describes a biocompatible and biodegradable composite material for the underwater delivery of active agent curcumin to reduce the effects of high seawater temperature on marine organisms such as corals. The antioxidant action of curcumin allows to mitigate the effect of climate change and improve the survival of ecosystems that are fragile, unique, biodiverse, and important for thousands of people worldwide like coral reefs.

Abstract

The invention describes a biocompatible and biodegradable composite material for the underwater delivery of active agent curcumin to reduce the effects of high seawater temperature on marine organisms such as corals. The antioxidant action of curcumin allows to mitigate the effect of climate change and improve the survival of ecosystems that are fragile, unique, biodiverse, and important for thousands of people worldwide like coral reefs.
