SDG 14 - Life Below Water

Introduction

At Redeemer's University, our mission for Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water is to contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of oceans, seas, and marine resources. Our dedicated researchers focus on maintaining aquatic ecosystems and their biodiversity, ensuring the health of these crucial habitats.

We monitor the health of aquatic ecosystems and implement programs that promote good aquatic stewardship practices. Additionally, the university has developed a watershed management strategy to protect water sources and maintain the integrity of marine environments for future generations.

The article investigates the concentration of toxic heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, nickel, and lead in fish and vegetables from dams in Osun State, Nigeria. The study highlights the environmental risks posed by these metals, which can accumulate in aquatic ecosystems and the food chain, ultimately threatening both human and aquatic life. By addressing pollution in water sources, the research supports Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14), which aims to conserve marine resources and protect ecosystems. The findings call for urgent action to monitor and manage water quality to prevent further contamination. For more details, refer to the study by Ishola et al. (2023) in the Journal of Food Composition and Analysis

The article examines the paleoenvironment and petroleum potential of the middle-upper Cretaceous sediments in the Calabar Flank of Southeastern Nigeria. By analyzing fossil content, lithology, and sediment deposition environments, the study sheds light on the historical marine conditions of the region. These findings are important for identifying potential hydrocarbon sources, contributing to more sustainable energy exploration practices. This aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14), which focuses on conserving marine resources and ensuring sustainable development of marine ecosystems.
