On 25th September 2015, leaders from 193 member states of the UN met to discuss the world’s problems and decide on a plan to tackle them. They named this plan the 17 Global Goals. The Global Goals are the most ambitious agreement for sustainable development that world leaders have ever made. That is why we need everyone to know about these Goals and to take action for them. Everyone, everywhere has a part to play!

Humanity can thank the ocean for rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, the food we eat, and the oxygen we breathe. Additionally, “over 3 billion people depend on coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods,” and “the market value of marine/coastal resources is estimated at 3 trillion dollars (U.S) per year, or about 5 per cent of the global GDP”. That is why this goal is so important—to conserve and sustainably use our oceans, seas, and marine resources.
