LIFE BELOW WATER
Over three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. However, today we are seeing 30 percent of the world’s fish stocks overexploited. Oceans also absorb about 30 percent of the carbon dioxide produced by humans, and we are seeing a significant rise in ocean acidification since the industrial revolution. Marine pollution is reaching alarming levels, with an average of 13,000 pieces of plastic litter on every square kilometre of ocean. SDG 14 aims to sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal
ecosystems from pollution, as well as to address the impacts of ocean acidification.
What will be your contribution?
