This book focuses, in seven chapters, on the perspectives and solutions that different research groups offer to try to redirect the set of problems related SDG 14: Life Below Water. The different objectives developed in SDG 14 are treated independently, trying to give a global vision of the problem. The mechanism used is to select, through an Artifical Intelligence program, some articles related to the topics by means of keywords. The program selects those articles, and those that are not related to the topic or that are not focused on an explanation related to SDG 14 are discarded by a volume editor. Obviously, the selection is partial and the entire subject is not covered, but it gives a very solid idea of how to orient ourselves to delve deeper into the topics from articles and book chapters. The program itself selects the text of these contributions to show the progress in the different topics. This mode of operation allows specialists (and non-specialists) to collect useful information for their purposes in a short period of time. At a time when information, ordered and filtered, is essential in order to be able to move quickly by providing concrete answers to complex problems, this type of approach will become essential. For a subject as vast as SDG 14, having the AI has been crucial, implementing a new system that we are going to have to manage for the next few years in agile ways to deal with the global chaos that we are facing.
