#OceanAction41460
Description
We are a collaboration of creative ocean lovers & Project Everyone, the campaigns unit for the Global Goals, with the support of WATO and UNOPS.
Our project is called oneocean.fm - a web based music stream dedicated to fine music and Ocean Conservation.
We intend to spread the messages of SDG14 : Life Below Water through fresh and innovative audio content from various high profile passionate ocean conservation people and networks.
Between the 5th and 9th of June 2017, we will launch at The Ocean Conference, telling people around the world why we must protect our Ocean and the commitments and actions being taken across the globe to do so.
We are doing all sorts of interesting content collaborations bringing together great electronic music from all kinds of DJ's together with ocean conservation activists/messages. These will include Dr Sylvia Earle, Sir Richard Branson, Fabien Cousteau and Melati and Isabel Wijsen from Bali and more. We also intend to be a platform for all ocean campaigners to promote their projects and actions for change, thereby building a community of ocean supporters whom we can mobilize at the relevant points to help see the goal achieved.
We are building a network of like minded platforms / organisation / businesses / radio stations from around the world who will be helping us reach as wide an audience as possible to make Goal 14 famous and see more people taking individual action to help secure a healthy future for our oceans. These range from Mixcloud to WeTransfer to Life Without Plastics to Deutsche Welle Radio as well as Radio Mango on the Arabian Sea.
We are very much open for more partners to join us to help grow the station and the movement.

13.3.1
Extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development are mainstreamed in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment
13.a
Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible
13.a.1
Amounts provided and mobilized in United States dollars per year in relation to the continued existing collective mobilization goal of the $100 billion commitment through to 2025

Goal 14
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
14.1
By 2025, prevent and significantly reduce marine pollution of all kinds, in particular from land-based activities, including marine debris and nutrient pollution
14.1.1
(a) Index of coastal eutrophication; and (b) plastic debris density
14.2
By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
14.2.1

14.a.1
14.b
Provide access for small-scale artisanal fishers to marine resources and markets
14.b.1
Degree of application of a legal/regulatory/policy/institutional framework which recognizes and protects access rights for small‐scale fisheries
14.c
