What is SDG 14?
SDG 14, Life Below Water, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as part of the 2030 Agenda. It aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources, and it covers reducing marine pollution, protecting coastal and marine ecosystems, and supporting sustainable fisheries.
What do ocean conservation charities do?
Ocean conservation charities work on protecting marine life and keeping seas healthy for the people who depend on them. Typical work includes:
- Cleaning plastic and other pollution from oceans, rivers, and coastlines
- Protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds
- Conserving marine wildlife: whales, sea turtles, seabirds, sharks, and fish populations
- Promoting sustainable fisheries and responsible seafood practices
- Advocating for marine protected areas and stronger ocean policy
- Marine research, monitoring, and public education about ocean health
How to check an ocean charity before you give
The same rules apply to ocean charities as to any other: confirm the organization is registered, read its integrity assessment (it measures disclosure, not impact), look at its filings, and check who runs it. Marine charities and ocean cleanup organizations come in every size, but every organization listed here has a profile with exactly that. The five-step walkthrough is in our guide for donors.
