SDG Goal 14 : Life Below Water

Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of sustainable future. However of the current time, there is a continuous deterioration of coastal waters owing to pollution and ocean acidification is having an adversarial effect on the functioning of ecosystems and biodiversity.

WHY IS IT MATTER?
If the sea damaged, the population of the flora and fauna will decrease. The decrease of the number of flora and fauna in the ocean will affect the number of resources that are available in the ocean and will have a negative impact on fishermen that reducing the stocks of seafoods in the market. The income from traders or fish sellers will decrease, also consumer demand may not be fulfilled.

Apart from marketing, a damaged marine ecosystem will reduce the beauty of the sea as a tourist place. This damage will also reduce income from tourism because the sea can also be an asset for an area to be visited by visitors when holiday.

SOLUTION
The solution that we can do is always to take care of our environment, especially in this case the sea or other waters. To preserve it can be done by keeping it clean, also keeping the living things in it (flora and fauna) by using the right way to catch fish for example, not using explosives which can also damage the environment surround it.
