In an example toward Goal 14, which entities collaborated to monitor ocean acidification?

• A. NASA, ESA, and JAXA
• B. UNEP, WHO, and WWF
• C. CSIRO, GBR Foundation, and Rio Tinto
• D. NOAA teams

Answer: (C)

Understanding how Goal 14 is advanced through real-world partnerships helps you see how monitoring and protecting oceans happens in practice. Ocean acidification monitoring needs both solid science and resources to collect and share data, plus engagement from those who fund and manage marine projects. In this example, CSIRO brings strong marine chemistry and long-term ocean data expertise, the Great Barrier Reef Foundation coordinates reef-focused monitoring and turns science into actionable insights for reef management, and Rio Tinto provides funding and industry perspective to support monitoring efforts. This cross-sector collaboration demonstrates the kind of data-driven, cooperative effort Goal 14 encourages to protect marine ecosystems and sustain ocean resources.

Other options involve different players (space agencies or international NGOs) that aren’t described as part of this specific Australian collaboration, or they don’t sketch the same multi-stakeholder partnership for ocean acidification monitoring.
