         Re: Registration Statement on Form SB-2 of BioMarine Technologies, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as counsel to and for BioMarine Technologies, Inc. (the
"Company"), in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration
Statement on Form SB-2, together with any and all exhibits and schedules
attached thereto (the "Registration Statement"), filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
relating to 12,500 Units, each Unit consisting of 100 shares of Common Stock and
100 Class B Warrants.

         We have examined the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, By-laws, resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company and such
other items as we deem material to this opinion.

         Based upon the foregoing information and examination, it is our opinion
that the shares of Common Stock of the Company covered by the Registration
Statement have been duly authorized and, when sold, issued and paid for, will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
