Goal 14 is about conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas and marine resources. A healthy ocean and seas are essential to human existence and life on Earth.  

The ocean is intrinsic to our life on Earth. It covers three‑quarters of the Earth’s surface, contains 97 percent of its water, and represents 99 percent of the planet’s living space by volume.
