Key Challenges
Protecting our oceans and marine life for future generations.
🌍 Introduction
SDG 14 focuses on Life Below Water, aiming to protect marine ecosystems and biodiversity. The ocean is home to millions of species and plays a vital role in sustaining life on Earth by regulating climate and providing resources.
🚯 The Problem
Over 8 million tons of plastic end up in oceans yearly. Coral reefs are dying due to climate change and pollution. Rising sea temperatures and acidification are putting marine biodiversity at risk, affecting food chains and economies dependent on fishing and tourism.
💡 Solutions
To combat these issues, we need collective action:
- • Reduce plastic use by switching to reusable products.
- • Participate in and support ocean clean-up projects.
- • Encourage sustainable fishing practices.
- • Support policies that protect marine ecosystems.
🌊 The Importance of Action
Ensuring a clean ocean benefits all life on Earth. A healthy marine environment supports biodiversity, mitigates climate change, and sustains millions of livelihoods. Each small effort contributes to a larger impact.
