In Sudan, Some Successes are Achieved in the Objectives of the SDG 14 (Life Below Water)
The results of the marine protected areas index improved, which encourages biodiversity. It recorded in its last reading 87.5%, and only 48% in the reading before it, which helps Sudan to protect life underwater.
With regard to the ocean health index, in the last two consecutive readings, it scored 45 degrees, 45.3 degrees, which means that Sudan needs to intensify its efforts with regard to reducing sources of water pollution and avoiding the deposits of loading and unloading of tankers transiting the Red Sea.
Among the Sudanese marine reserves that were established to protect endangered species in Sudan are the Sanganeb Marine National Park, Dungonab Bay, and Mukkawar Island.
In this context, NGO Major Group for Africa appreciates the Sudanese efforts to improve the quality of life underwater by preventing water pollution and jeopardizing marine creatures living in it.
The Sudanese government calls for the creation of a governmental body that will supervise and monitor power plants, refineries, factories, ship maintenance workshops, and fishing boats beside marine areas to prevent dumping pollutants there.
