objective 14. Conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, of the seas and marine resources for sustainable development

14.1 Until 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all types, especially the one arising from terrestrial activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution

14.2 Until 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening its resilience, and take steps to restore it, in order to ensure healthy and productive oceans

14.3 Minimize and face the impacts of ocean acidification, including through the strengthening of scientific cooperation at all levels.

14.4 Until 2020, effectively regulate the collection, and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated and destructive fishing practices, and implement science-based management plans, to restore fish populations in the shortest time possible., at least at levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield, as determined by its biological characteristics

14.5 Until 2020, keep at least 10% of coastal and marine areas, in accordance with national and international legislation, and based on the best scientific information available

14.6 Until 2020, ban certain forms of fishing subsidies, contributing to overcapacity and overfishing, and eliminate subsidies that contribute to illegal fishing, unreported and unregulated, and refrain from introducing new subsidies like these., recognizing that adequate and effective special and differential treatment for developing and least developed countries must be an integral part of the World Trade Organization negotiation on fisheries subsidies

14.7 Until 2030, increase economic benefits for small island developing states and least developed countries, from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable fisheries management., aquaculture and tourism

14.to increase scientific knowledge, develop research capabilities and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission's criteria and guidelines on Marine Technology Transfer, in order to improve the health of the oceans and increase the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries

14.b Provide small-scale artisanal fishers with access to marine resources and markets

14.c Ensure the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and their resources through the implementation of international law, as reflected in UNCLOS [United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea], that provides the legal framework for the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and their resources, as recorded in paragraph 158 of "The Future We Want".
