 Educate and Empower #vulnerable on Instagram: "There are many things that each of us can do to contribute to achieving Global Goal 14: Life Below Water. One simple way to start is to find a charity that supports this cause and make a donation, no matter how big or small. Another thing we can do is to never buy bottled water and instead find alternatives like boiling, filtering, or using rainwater. This reduces the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our oceans.

We can also reduce waste by stopping the use of plastic bags. When we use and dispose of plastic improperly, it becomes a major cause of marine pollution. Running campaigns about the effects of plastic use on the oceans can raise awareness and encourage others to take action as well.

Organizing clean-up projects for rivers, seas, and oceans is another way to contribute. By engaging the whole community, we can make a significant difference and ensure that our environment is kept clean and safe.

Another way to help is by buying locally and choosing certified fish. This supports small-scale producers and helps to ensure that we are not contributing to overfishing or other harmful practices.

Lastly, it's important to stay informed and keep up with the latest news and developments related to Global Goal 14. Follow the Global Goals on social media, check your local news, and stay engaged.

Let's all do our part in protecting our oceans and marine life. Together, we can make a difference and achieve Global Goal 14. 

Don't forget to stay with us for the next week as we dive into Global Goal 15: Life on Land. 🌊🐟🐠🌍🌿🌱🐾🌳🦁 #GlobalGoal14 #LifeBelowWater #ProtectOurOceans #ReducePlasticWaste #CleanUpOurEnvironment #BuyLocal #StayInformed #JoinTheMovement #ActNow #NextStopGlobalGoal15"
