Sustainable Development Goal 14 aims to conserve and sustainably use oceans, seas, and marine resources. It is important to save life below water through actions like reducing marine pollution, protecting ecosystems, and sustainably managing fishing. Healthy oceans are essential as they cover most of the planet, provide food and resources, and help break down waste and pollution. Many animals are negatively impacted by water pollution, such as sea turtles mistaking plastic for food and experiencing digestive blockages.
