Plastic Pollution and Marine Conservation: Approaches to Protect Biodiversity and Marine Life, Volume 1, 1 January 2022

This chapter aligns with Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation and Goal 14: Life below water by arguing that further steps for the optimal management of MPAs should aim to improve the efficiency of the whole plastic waste management cycle, thus preventing and reducing debris entering the marine environment.
Temperature and sea level rise threats to aquaculture were the main focus in science and the news. At least 10 countries linked current impacts on aquaculture to climate change. Global papers cited technology for adaption, while regional papers cited governance.
Links to SDG6 and the theme of WWD as it covers the presence of emerging pollutants in aquatic systems such as rivers, lakes, groundwater, glaciers, wetlands, the ocean poses significant risks to human and environmental health.
This chapter aligns with Goal 14: Life Below Water and Goal 12: Responsible Consumption by discussing threats to the Franciscana dolphin and exploring novel options to reduce harmful bycatch.
This chapter aligns with Goal 14: Life Below Water and Goal 12: Responsible Consumption by highlighting the many marine pollution risks associated with ocean extraction/consumption and impacts to marine ecosystems.
This chapter aligns with Goal 14: Life below water and Goal 15: Life on land by addressing how the pandemic has halted the progress of the sustainable development goals, including how the improper disposal of COVID-19-associated wastes, such as medical equipment, plastics, masks, and gloves, is a threat to both the lives on land and below water.
