The Marina SDG #14 by Villalobos, Carolina

#14 Life below water

s1920580 — 2025-08-19 18:07:32 UTC

I'm interested in the life below water.We don't know much about the ocean so ,I thought this would be an interesting topic to research on.

Increasing economic benefits

s1920580 — 2025-08-19 18:20:38 UTC

A fact on the SDG website that captured my interest is that in the year 2030 they are trying to help the small islands economy by management of fisheries ,aquaculture,and tourism.

What islands need the most help?

s1920580 — 2025-08-19 18:32:47 UTC

The islands that need help or currently receiving help is fiji,Marshall islands,and Haiti.I think this is very important because it can dictate how a lot of people live their life.

Life Below Water definition

s1920580 — 2025-08-19 23:46:19 UTC

It means to take care under the ocean.Some examples are the coral reefs making sure they're healthy.Another is plastic not being thrown in the ocean.

Support small scale fishers

s1920580 — 2025-08-20 00:15:58 UTC

It gives them the equality as bigger scale fishers and it gives them the same opportunities.Without small scale fishers 90% of people would be unemployed .Also fish is very important to humans due to their protein.

Implement and force international sea law

s1920580 — 2025-08-20 00:32:20 UTC

It says what laws to follow in the ocean.Some examples are maritime zones.Which means different zones of the ocean that are controlled by the costal's country.

Ted Talk

s1920580 — 2025-08-20 22:36:31 UTC

This Ted talk shows what the topic is about and gives you a clear understanding.The main topic in this video is the types of biodiversity in the ocean.Then another very interesting part is how by 2050 there will be more plastic then fish in the oceans.

Why is it important?

s1920580 — 2025-08-21 18:00:30 UTC

It is important because oceans are such a big part of us .For example they provide 50% of oxygen to the planet. It regulates the water cycle.For example rain that falls into land goes into the ocean so,it is like a cycle that regulates the water back to it's original source.

What can be done/Solution

s1920580 — 2025-08-21 18:26:15 UTC

You should promote some fishing practices.For example ending illegal fishing.More examples are plastic,pollution,oil spills,and ocean noise.

Challenges

s1920580 — 2025-08-21 18:27:57 UTC

There are so many types of pollution but ,there is also a lot of plastic in the ocean as well.Plastic is a problem due to that it can injure and kill marine life.It kills the animals due to them getting caught in it or physically eating it.

Theory

s1920580 — 2025-08-21 18:30:21 UTC

The theory is that oceans are global commons.Which means everyone is included in this problem and how we should help.

What are the animals with most extinct rate?

s1920580 — 2025-08-21 18:33:11 UTC

The vaquita,Hawsbill sea turtle,and North atlantic right whale.They are almost extinct due to habitat loss,increased stress,and food supply changes.

Different types of oceans?

s1920580 — 2025-08-21 18:38:41 UTC

The Pacific ocean,Atlantic,indian,artic,and southern.These are all of the ones we have to protect?

How do plate tectonics and related events influence the oceans?

s1920580 — 2025-08-21 18:43:40 UTC

The sea floor is always changing and creating new things.Also forming undercover volcanoes.

I think I want to research the oceean

s1920580 — 2025-08-26 03:01:31 UTC

I like the ocean because it is pretty and beneficial.It is beneficial due to helping global food security.Also we haven't even discovered 100% of the ocean so I think somewhere in the water there can be something very beneficial.Which is why we should take care of the ocean.

Which must be addressed to reach SDG #14 goal reduce marine pollution

s1920580 — 2025-08-26 03:06:13 UTC

Stop using plastic!!!!!!!!!!!Plastic is so bad overall in the earth and ocean.Some examples of this is they release toxic chemicals that intoxicate the water.

I will focus on the Philiphines

s1920580 — 2025-08-26 03:07:45 UTC

The philippines is considered one of the places with the most plastic. Although they have been getting better at several things.For example environmentally they are using cleaner energy sources.Then they created guidelines for green.

To approach a better enviorment

s1920580 — 2025-08-26 03:08:15 UTC

The water absorbs carbon dioxide which is bad for humans so that is good.A better environment isn't just taking care of the ocean but the whole earth.For example walking ,shop secondhand,and plant a tree.

I want to research this because it's important.

s1920580 — 2025-08-26 03:10:13 UTC

I feel like we talk about plastic waste a lot but don't do the extreme to get our earth healthier.I think we should create and fund a multi-millionaire program that helps the earth and is actively looking at new inventions that barley have a carbon foot.

Research question #1

s1920580 — 2025-09-03 17:08:53 UTC

Due to the changes in the ocean,acid,and climate change.How does this change the marine biodiversity?

Research question #2

s1920580 — 2025-09-03 22:37:23 UTC

What satellites and ai-powered systems can help us explore and better the Atlantic ocean?

Research question #3

s1920580 — 2025-09-03 22:37:50 UTC

How did humans cause all these climate problems?
