The Economic Importance of Macroalgae

Main Article Content

Abstract

In this study, we discussed algae with economic importance. Information was given about the use of macroalgae in the food industry, medicine and pharmacy, additives, organic agriculture, wastewater treatment, and bioplastic production, which are the areas of use in the economy. The taxa and species used in these areas were investigated. Macroalgae in the seas of our country were examined, and information was given about how they can contribute to the economy.
