SDG 14: Life Below Water — Protecting Oceans and Marine Resources
Oceans cover over 70% of the Earth’s surface and are critical for regulating climate, supporting biodiversity, and sustaining billions of livelihoods. SDG 14 calls for the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources. For Pakistan, with its 1,000 km coastline along the Arabian Sea, marine pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change pose growing threats. Islamic principles of stewardship, justice, and balance provide a guiding framework for restoring the health of oceans and ensuring their benefits for future generations.
