    • GOAL 14: LIFE BELOW WATER
    Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources

    The ocean drives global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind. Our rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea. Saving our ocean must remain a priority.
