SDG 14 Global Issues

1. A study in Australia reveals that marine animals are more likely to swallow biodegradable plastics than conventional plastics, raising concerns about the possible harm to nature.

 

2. The Netherland’s Ocean Cleanup highlights the terrible impacts of plastic waste on marine wildlife, with entanglement and ingestion harming a diverse range of species such as whales, seals, turtles, and crustaceans. 

 

3. Fauna & Flora introduces the negative impact of plastic waste on marine creatures, with an estimated 100,000 deaths each year. 

What Actions can you take?

1. Reduce waste – much of the waste that we produce on land ends up in the oceans. Stop using plastic bags: Usage and wrong disposal of plastic is a major cause of marine pollution.
2. Never buy bottled water – boil, filter, or take it from the water fountain, do whatever you can.
3. Visit aquariums or marine parks and learn about different marine species and conservation efforts.
