Pharmaceutical contaminants, including some chemotherapeutics, threaten marine ecosystems at unprecedented levels. When released into water systems, pharmaceuticals disrupt marine life and the food chain, particularly affecting fish and coral reefs. These contaminants modify the behaviour, growth, and reproduction of marine organisms. The environmental damage extends to water contamination, posing a significant threat to aquatic life that relies on clean water. Proactive action is critical to offset these effects. This includes pharmaceutical take-back programs, green pharmacy practices, and regulatory advocacy. Pharmacists, researchers, and policymakers must work together to protect marine health. Focusing on sustainable methods is essential to safeguard our oceans for generations to come.
