SDGs In Action: How Thai Union is achieving Goal 14 – Life Below Water
Oceans cover around three-quarters of the Earth’s surface and contain 97% of the water available across the globe. Humanity depends on the oceans for everyday necessities, ranging from access to drinking water and food, the oxygen in the air we breathe and as trade routes to transport goods.
