A taxonomic overview of the marine environment is presented along with specifics on the key phyla. This is accompanied by a brief history of marine natural products research, the aspirations in this field of research, and an analysis, on a taxonomic basis, of the results of the past 60 years of marine natural products research. In the final sections of the chapter, conclusions are drawn from the work as to the phyla that might be of interest for future research.
