Ocean warming is basically one of the effects of global warming which is causing oceans to absorb heat from greenhouses and causing the temperature to rise

According to (SDG), "Plastic is the most harmful type of marine litter, with over 17 million metric tons clogging the ocean in 2021, a figure set to double or triple by 2040. Plastic production has skyrocketed fourfold in the last 40 years, while recycling rates remain below 10 per cent." The reason why this is bad is because the marine animals can ingest it, get entangle in it and it is overall bad for habitat disruption.

More than a third of the fishing market is over-fished. 1-5 fish caught is unregulated fishing. (Per SDG),"This illicit practice is one of the greatest threats to marine ecosystems and fishing communities, distorting competition, undermining legitimate fishers, and devastating marine ecosystems and efforts to conserve marine biodiversity and sustainably manage fish stocks. Annual losses as a result of this practice are estimated at 11 to 26 million tons of fish, with an economic value of up to $23 billion." As of May of 2023 they had created a fishing agreement on port state which has reached 75 parties.

This is when the water becomes extremely enriched with nutrients causing an overgrowth of algae and plants. which often causes harmful algae blooms and oxygen depletion. This is usually caused by wastewater discharge and land-runoffs.

Fun Fact (to me): (SDG)

In a striking signal of an ocean that can’t breathe, crustaceans, such as crawfish and lobster, have been observed leaving the sea to survive. A recent walkout in early 2023 in South Africa saw around 5 tons of endangered lobster escaping, prompting an emergency plan for their rehabilitation in an already struggling fishing community.

According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), more than 20% of children between six and 11 years, and over 33% of young people between 12 and 14, are not in school in sub-Saharan Africa. For those aged 15 to 17, that figure is 60%.

If Africa was to get better education it would mean 47 million would be less poor in the world and it would help incresse the (DGP).

This happens with the reaction of the PH of the ocean. This is primarily caused by uptake in carbon dioxide.(Per SDG),"As greenhouse gas emissions soar, the oceans are silently absorbing a quarter of annual carbon dioxide emissions. While this mitigates the impact of climate change on the planet, it comes at a great cost to the careful balance in ocean acidity, damaging organisms and ecosystems. Long-term observation sites in the open ocean have shown a continuous decline in pH levels over the last 20 to 30 years, with far-reaching impacts. Currently, the ocean’s average pH is 8.1, about 30 per cent more acidic than in pre-industrial times and changing rapidly." Reporting stations have tripled over 3 times from it being 781 in 2021 to 539 in 2024.

(Per SDG)

The global community has reinvigorated its commitment to combat destructive patterns affecting ocean health through several recent pacts. In March 2023, a historic agreement was reached on protecting marine biodiversity in international waters – referred to as the High Seas Treaty – after nearly two decades of negotiations. Given that the “high seas” make up two thirds of the ocean, this treaty, once ratified by countries, will help to provide vital protection against pollution, overfishing and habitat destruction in these critical areas. Another significant milestone occurred in March 2022, when Member States endorsed a resolution to end plastic pollution, including in marine environments, with plans to implement an international legally binding agreement by 2024.

In Asia one in three kids who reach the 4th grade can read a text book.But most of the kids who finish primary school have not completed the skilled of numeracy and literacy."South Asia faces significant challenges in providing quality education to all its children. It lacks adequate finances, qualified teachers, pedagogical knowledge, and opportunities for adolescent education and skill utilization. In many parts of the region, learning methods are largely teacher-centred and rote-based, and children are subjected to corporal punishment and discrimination. "

3.6 million girls and boys between the ages of 3 and 4 do not achieve adequate development for their age in Latin America and the Caribbean.The coverage of development services for early childhood (from 0 to 2 years) was barely 18.6%, while the rate of preschool education (from 3 years to the beginning of primary school) was 77.5%, which means that a quarter of the children of that age group are not in preschools. Almost 12 million children and adolescents in Latin America and the Caribbean are excluded from the educational system.

implementing the European quality framework for high- quality early childhood education and care systems

supporting the establishment of centers for vocational excellence

The cost of education is high for the public and for private even for the ones that can afford the education. The school doesn't have either funds to provide a great education nor do they have the equipment for the work that they are trying to do.

In the last 40 years government funding in the education sector in Nigeria has varied between 6% and 9% of the national budget. This is lower than most other African countries which range between 11% and 30%.

At the district and schoolwide levels, professional development is aimed at creating a safe and civil school climate that allows every student to succeed.Educators have immense power to positively affect student behavior. Changes made in the physical layout, the supervisory structure of the school day, the arrival and departure of students to and from school, the explicit teaching of behavior expectations, the development of meaningful relationships with adults, and more help improve student behavior.

People have come to understand that if Africa have better education that would mean about 47 million fewer people would be poor and it will add to the (GDP)."According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), more than 20% of children between six and 11 years, and over 33% of young people between 12 and 14, are not in school in sub-Saharan Africa.

I think I want to research Inadequate Funding which must be addressed to reach SDG #[GOAL #4]. I will focus on Afric/Nigeria and try to find out why the funding is not where it is suppose to be and how would someone be able to help them get the funding they need. I want to research this because this topic interests me because I believe all kids deserve the right to have any education no matter who you are. And all kids should have a proper education with most of everything at their disposal.
