A Bibliometric Analysis on SDG 14: Life below water

Particularly when it comes to marine conservation, climate change and sustainable management have become major global concerns. The preservation of marine biodiversity and the fight against ocean pollution are at the heart of Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14)—Life Below Water—which is covered in this report. The historical backgrounds of marine conservation, the development of global programs, and India's role in promoting marine sustainability are all covered. The most significant study findings, problems, and suggestions for improving marine health are found through a thorough evaluation of the literature. To assess research trends, key contributors, and emerging themes in SDG 14 research, the paper employs bibliometric analysis. The results demonstrate that while regulations for marine conservation have advanced, there are still gaps in managing ocean acidification, adopting sustainable fishing, and integrating indigenous knowledge. This study helps create well-informed plans for accomplishing SDG 14 and guaranteeing long-term ocean sustainability by comprehending these research trends.
