The United Nations SDG for the oceans states:

“The world’s oceans – their temperature, makeup, currents and life – propel global systems that make the earth liveable for humanity. Our rainwater, drinking water, climate, weather, shorelines, much of our food, and also the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all in the long run provided and controlled by the sea. All through history, oceans and seas have been crucial channels of trade and transportation.

Careful administration of this crucial global resource is an important feature to a sustainable future. However, at the present time, there is a progressive decline of coastal waters due to pollution and ocean acidification is having a bad effect on the operation of ecosystems and biodiversity. This is also adversely affecting small scale fisheries.

Marine protected regions have to be effectively run and well-resourced and laws need to be implemented to reduce overfishing, marine contamination and ocean acidification.”
