SDG14 is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals declared by the United Nations in 2015
It advocates to conserve and use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development. There are 10 Targets and 10 Indicators for SDG 14, Life below water.
The oceans absorb approximately 30 per cent of carbon dioxide and more than 90 per cent of the excess heat, thus reducing global warming. The Oceans and Seas cover 70 per cent of our planet and we depend on them for food, water, and energy. They provide us with rainwater, drinking water, food, and even oxygen in the air we breathe. They also regulate the weather, climate, and coastlines. Protecting these precious resources is an important responsibility we all need to shoulder.
For a sustainable future, saving our ocean and sea must remain our priority.
Life below water is essential for life above water. For the health of people and our planet marine biodiversity is a must. However, presently owing to pollution and ocean acidification, there is a continuous deterioration of coastal waters, affecting our ecosystems and biodiversity. We need to effectively manage this by reducing overfishing and marine pollution, as the economic, social, and environmental needs of the global population are supported by oceans and fisheries.
