Goal 14. Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
14.1 By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine
pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based
activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
14.1.1 Index of coastal eutrophication and floating
plastic debris density
14.2 By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine
and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse
impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and
take action for their restoration in order to achieve
healthy and productive oceans
14.2.1 Proportion of national exclusive economic
zones managed using ecosystem-based approaches
14.3 Minimize and address the impacts of ocean
acidification, including through enhanced scientific
14.3.1 Average marine acidity (pH) measured at
agreed suite of representative sampling stations
cooperation at all levels
14.4 By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end
overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
and destructive fishing practices and implement
science-based management plans, in order to restore
fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels
that can produce maximum sustainable yield as
determined by their biological characteristics
14.4.1 Proportion of fish stocks within biologically
sustainable levels
14.5 By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal
and marine areas, consistent with national and
international law and based on the best available
scientific information
14.5.1 Coverage of protected areas in relation to
marine areas
14.6 By 2020, prohibit certain forms of fisheries
subsidies which contribute to overcapacity and
overfishing, eliminate subsidies that contribute to
illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and refrain
from introducing new such subsidies, recognizing that
appropriate and effective special and differential
treatment for developing and least developed countries
should be an integral part of the World Trade
Organization fisheries subsidies negotiationc
14.6.1 Progress by countries in the degree of
implementation of international instruments aiming to
combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing
14.7 By 2030, increase the economic benefits to small
island developing States and least developed countries
from the sustainable use of marine resources, including
through sustainable management of fisheries,
aquaculture and tourism
14.7.1 Sustainable fisheries as a percentage of GDP in
small island developing States, least developed
countries and all countries
14.a Increase scientific knowledge, develop research
capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into
account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic
Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of
Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health
and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity
to the development of developing countries, in
particular small island developing States and least
developed countries
14.a.1 Proportion of total research budget allocated to
research in the field of marine technology
14.b Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to
marine resources and markets
14.b.1 Progress by countries in the degree of
application of a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional
framework which recognizes and protects access
rights for small-scale fisheries
14.c Enhance the conservation and sustainable use of
oceans and their resources by implementing
international law as reflected in the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea, which provides the
legal framework for the conservation and sustainable
use of oceans and their resources, as recalled in
paragraph 158 of “The future we want”
14.c.1 Number of countries making progress in
ratifying, accepting and implementing through legal,
policy and institutional frameworks, ocean-related
instruments that implement international law, as
reflected in the United Nation Convention on the Law
of the Sea, for the conservation and sustainable use of
the oceans and their resources
