Dear Colleagues,

The search for bioactive secondary metabolites from marine organisms has been an active area of research since the 1950s. The distinct biodiversity of the marine environment has afforded a vast array of unique secondary metabolites, many of which possess potent biological activities. This special issue of Marine Drugs will highlight recent bioactive marine natural product studies conducted by Australasian scientists on an array of marine organisms.
