Marine seaweed bio-resources (MSBR) have long been recognized for their therapeutic and disease-prevention benefits. They are utilized to prevent various noncommunicable and communicable diseases as active components. In recent years, biotechnologists and pharmacologists have become interested in MSBR as a viable and almost limitless source of various biologically active compounds against a broad spectrum of diseases. The most recent global pandemic Covid-19 raised the scientific world's attention to discovering novel anti-viral agents against viruses. Oceans provide unlimited biological resources to develop therapeutic drugs for treating various human viral diseases. Our major intention of writing this chapter was to draw attention to the anti-viral potential of MSBR against various human viral diseases and gain the strength to conquer future viral pandemics.
