The fourteenth SDG, "Life Below Water," centers on the conservation and sustainable use of

marine resources. It emphasizes the protection of oceans, seas, and marine life.
Oceans cover more than two-thirds of the Earth's surface and play a vital role in regulating the
climate and supporting biodiversity. However, marine ecosystems face numerous threats,
including overfishing, pollution, and habitat destruction. This goal calls for the sustainable
management and conservation of marine and coastal ecosystems. It also highlights the need to
combat illegal fishing practices and reduce marine pollution, including plastic waste.
