smile and learn Hello friends today we're going to continue talking about the sustainable development goals we're on number 14 now and this is a super important topic Life Below water let's get started as you probably already know underwater life is all the ecosystems that make up the Seas and oceans these ecosystems are important to humans for many reasons they regulate the planet's climate and provide us with food raw materials and energy resources [Music] so it's essential that we take care of them for this reason the United Nations has made the protection of underwater life one
of its main sustainable development goals [Music] did you know that the Earth is known as the Blue Planet yes that's because the oceans cover three quarters of its surface and contain 97 of the planet's water [Music] in fact when you look at Earth from space it looks like a big blue ball wow [Music] in addition the oceans and seas are home to some 250 000 species of living things such as animals and plants and there could still be another 500 000 more to discover we need to take care of all of them [Music] did you
know that the oceans absorb heat from the Sun and help regulate the earth's temperature the ocean's currents spread the heat that oceans absorb around the planet this helps regulate the climate but watch out the rising temperature of our planet is also affecting the oceans by threatening the survival of many animal species in addition pollution and poor Waste Management are seriously damaging our oceans and threatening marine ecosystems it is essential that we address these environmental issues to protect precious underwater life we must not forget one key issue fishing although it is a basic practice that provides
us with food we must do it with great care illegal and excessive fishing must stop as it not only affects marine life but can also destroy and damage marine ecosystems in addition these changes harm the economy and threaten the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on them you too can help us reach this goal it's up to us to leave beaches as clean as we found them or even cleaner This Way garbage won't end up in the sea can you think of any other ways to take care of the oceans see you soon [Music]
