A life below water
I’m Jude Ivan A. Ramos, a BS Maritime Transportation cadet. In this blog, I will talk about two Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 14, Life Below Water, and SDG 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth.
Protecting Our Oceans and Valuing the People Behind Every Voyage As a citizen of the world, I believe that everyone has a responsibility to protect the environment and promote a better society. Two Sustainable Development Goals that matter to me are SDG 14, Life Below Water, and SDG 8, Decent Work and Economic Growth.

SDG 14 focuses on protecting oceans and marine life from pollution. Oceans provide food, support livelihoods, and maintain the balance of nature. I can contribute by reducing plastic use, throwing garbage properly, and keeping our surroundings and waterways clean. Meanwhile, SDG 8 promotes decent work, fair treatment, and safe working conditions for everyone.
Every worker deserves respect, equal opportunities, and fair compensation. I can support this goal by respecting workers, supporting local businesses, and treating everyone fairly. I chose these goals because our environment and the people around us are important to our future.
I believe that even simple actions can make a difference. Protecting our oceans and valuing every worker can help create a cleaner, fairer, and more sustainable world for future generations.
