contents Evaluation and Valorization of Ecological Risk Mitigation Through the Use of Sustainable Marine Resources in Ulva, a Marine Ecological Disturbance Species. Sunwoo, In-Yung Ryu, Yong-Kyung Oh, Chul-Hong Choi, Woon-Yong Massive blooms of species, commonly known as green tides, pose serious ecological threats by disrupting coastal ecosystems and requiring costly removal efforts. This study presents a nature-based solution by seasonally valorizing , a bloom-forming macroalga dominant in Jeju Island, South Korea. Biomass was collected across all four seasons and subjected to phylogenetic identification, biochemical characterization, and bioresource processing. Despite environmental fluctuations, tufA-based analysis confirmed as the sole species present year-round. Carbohydrate content peaked in spring (55.35%) and was lowest in summer (45.74%), corresponding to maximum reducing sugar of 36.49 g/L in winter and 36.24 g/L in spring following acid-enzymatic hydrolysis. The maximum ethanol fermentation using produced up to 17.12 g/L ethanol in spring with a yield of 0.47 g/g. Post-fermentation residues were enzymatically hydrolyzed into Ulva Ethanol Residue Medium (UERM), which supported yeast growth and fermentation comparable to commercial YPD medium, achieving final optical densities of 8.3-8.5 and ethanol production of 16.5-16.8 g/L. Alanine, valine, and proline were the most abundant amino acids in UERM, supporting its suitability as a nitrogen source. These findings highlight the potential of integrating green tide mitigation with renewable energy and nutrient recycling through seasonal, localized biorefineries aligned with circular marine bioeconomy principles.
