SDG 14 — Life Below Water

Healthy seas and coasts are essential for life on Earth — from climate regulation and oxygen production to food, livelihoods, and wellbeing. SDG 14 is about protecting oceans, seas, and marine resources by reducing pollution, restoring habitats, supporting sustainable fishing, and helping coastal communities adapt to climate change. This SDG 14: Life Below Water page on SDG.VISION shares films and stories of practical action — led by young people, coastal communities, scientists, fishers, divers, campaigners, councils, and educators — protecting marine life and the waters we all depend on.

If you’re taking action for oceans, rivers, estuaries, beaches, or marine wildlife, your story can inspire others.


What you’ll find on this SDG 14 page

  • Short films on ocean protection, coastal care, and marine restoration

  • Youth-led actions like beach cleans, citizen science, and campaigns

  • Practical work tackling plastic pollution, runoff, and sewage impacts

  • Stories about sustainable fishing and coastal livelihoods

Why share your ocean story?

Because marine solutions spread when people can see them — and feel connected to them. A short film can:

  • help other communities copy projects that reduce pollution and restore habitats

  • build public understanding of what’s happening in coastal waters

  • connect partners across schools, councils, science, and local groups

  • attract volunteers and support for long-term stewardship

  • celebrate the beauty and value of seas — and the people protecting them
