Abstract: The traditional vision among many researcher is that Marine Genetic Resources will generate economic gains based on bio-technological interventions based on the “biodiversity green “rush”. Even, Marine Genetic Resources will be the sources to finance conservation. Today Marine Genetic Resources´ conservation is a benefit, a gain in supporting food production. Therefore, why and how Marine Genetic Resources should be manage by public policy for conserving them in their own ecosystems supported by Civil and Ecological engineering vis a vis current threats from climate change and other global environmental changes?
Due to the current and future problems related to global environmental change a new framework on Marine Governance is needed, particularly institutional (including not only policy but law, ecology, environmental science, and other disciplines). This new framework shall be based on new insights and contributions from human beings to nature, particularly but not exclusively, biodiversity. As well, this contribution can be from Civil and Ecological engineering, some suggestions will be included. Further, with large economic recovery after Covid19, economic growth, the pressure on ecosystem will increase. Benefits are key in this endeavor, conservation is a benefit.

Keywords: Public Policy, Marine Governance, Marine Genetic Resources, Active Conservation

Biography: Sergio Pena-Neira, Ph.D. is Associate Professor and Researcher at Universidad Mayor, Chile. A Chilean national, he has been trained during his Ph.D. in Spain, Germany and Japan and before that in Chile and the Netherlands. His Ph.D. was gained in Spain and later Dr. Pena Neira continue his research as a postdoctoral researcher in England (King´s College London and University of Cambridge). Pena-Neira is coaching a research group with undergraduate and post graduate researchers at Universidad Mayor, Chile (Research Center for Society and Health and Law School). Dr Pena-Neira has worked on the problems related to biodiversity and climate change either in the area of terrestrial or marine biodiversity with publications on the subject. His focus is on public policy and international regulation based on the relationships between both sciences and focus on innovations to confront loss of biodiversity, adverse effects of climate change and global environmental problems.
