Target 14.1: Reduce marine pollution
UN definition: "By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution."
Reduce marine pollution - SDG Indicator 14.1.1
Definition: Indicator 14.1.1 is the "index of coastal eutrophication and floating plastic debris density".
Goal: "Prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds" by 2025.
Unlike most SDGs, which are set for the year 2030, this indicator is targeted for 2025.
Target 14.2: Protect and restore ecosystems
UN definition: "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."
Protect and restore ecosystems - SDG Indicator 14.2.1
Definition: Indicator 14.2.1 is the "proportion of national exclusive economic zones managed using ecosystem-based approaches".
Goal: "Sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts" by 2020.
Unlike most SDGs, which are set for the year 2030, this indicator is targeted for 2020.
Target 14.3: Reduce ocean acidification
UN definition: "Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification, including through enhanced scientific cooperation at all levels."
Reduce ocean acidification - SDG Indicator 14.3.1
Definition: Indicator 14.3.1 is the "average marine acidity (pH) measured at agreed suite of representative sampling stations".
Goal: "Minimize and address the impacts of ocean acidification" by 2030.
