In light of Algeria's distinctive coastal and Marine Environment (ME), which is rich in resources. However, there are significant challenges as a result of marine pollution, climate change and unsustainable exploitation. This study focuses on examining marine environmental challenges and efforts to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14: Life Below Water. The study aims to present the main environmental challenges facing the Algerian sea and coast, highlight the most important efforts made in environmental protection and coastal infrastructure development, and underscore opportunities for success in meeting these challenges. Among the results we found that there are significant environmental challenges, including marine pollution, declining water quality, and loss of biodiversity. Moreover, there are efforts being made by many stakeholders to protect the ME and achieve sustainable development goals. Finally, among the recommendations presented are strengthened international cooperation and exchange of knowledge and technology to achieve SDG14
