          This Amendment No. 1 is being filed jointly by Iroquois Capital Management L.L.C., Joshua Silverman and Richard Abbe (each, a “Reporting Person,” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) and amends the Schedule 13G initially filed by Iroquois Capital Management LLC with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 25, 2010 (the “Schedule 13G”).
          Except as set forth below, all Items of the Schedule 13G remain unchanged. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13G.
Item 1.
     (a) Name of Issuer
      Marina Biotech, Inc. (the “Issuer”)
Item 2.
     (a) Name of Person Filing
     (b) Address of Principal Business Office or, if none, Residence
     (c) Citizenship
      This Schedule 13G is being filed on behalf of (i) Iroquois Capital Management L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Iroquois”), (ii) Joshua Silverman, an individual who is a citizen of the United States of America (“Mr. Silverman”) and (iii) Richard Abbe, an individual who is a citizen of the United States of America (“Mr. Abbe,” together with Iroquois and Mr. Silverman, the “Reporting Persons”).
 
      The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, a copy of which is filed with this Schedule 13G as Exhibit 1, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have agreed to file this Schedule 13G jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
      The principal business office of all of the Reporting Persons is 641 Lexington Avenue, 26th Floor, New York, New York 10022.
     (e) CUSIP Number
               56804Q102
Item 4. Ownership.
     (a) and (b):
      As of the close of business on December 31, 2010, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 1,429,570 shares of Common Stock, including (i) 596,695 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant (“Warrant 1”) held by Iroquois Master Fund and (ii) 542,591 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of another warrant (“Warrant 2”) held by Iroquois Master Fund, and all such shares of Common Stock in the aggregate represent beneficial ownership of approximately 4.99% of the Common Stock, based on (1) 25,393,685 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on November 5, 2010, as disclosed in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2010 filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 15, 2010, plus (2) 2,115,727 shares of Common Stock issued by the Issuer on December 16, 2010, as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on December 21, 2010, plus (3)(A) 596,695 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrant 1 and (B) 542,591 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrant 2. The foregoing excludes (I) 119,906 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Warrant 2 because Warrant 2 contains a “blocker provision” under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise Warrant 2 to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group together with such holder or any of such holder’s affiliates, of more than 4.99% of the Common Stock; and (II) 2,521,033 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of other warrants held by Iroquois Master Fund (the “Other Warrants”) because each of the Other Warrants contain a “blocker provision” under which the holder thereof does not have the right to exercise each of the Other Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in beneficial ownership by the holder thereof or any of its affiliates, of more than 4.99% or 4.9% (as

(i) Sole power to vote or to direct the vote: 1,429,570.
(ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote: 0.
(iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of: 1,429,570.
