About This Collection

As a result of a United Nations General Assembly resolution passed in December 2008, World Oceans Day is celebrated on June 8th each year. This annual event spurred the creation of a special collections around our oceans and the efforts being made in conservation ranging from pollution to habitat restoration to fishing and fisheries.

The special collection continues to grow along with Plastic in Our Oceans and 1Water, with a focus on the challenge of providing clean drinking water to the world population.

July 14, 2020

Oceana research shows Amazon customers, especially Prime members, are deeply concerned about plastic pollution and its impact on oceans. With increased online shopping, they overwhelmingly want Amazon and other major retailers to offer plastic-free packaging choices.

Amazon shipped an estimated 7 billion packages globally in 2019, often using plastic that contributes to the 17.6 billion pounds entering our oceans annually, devastating marine life. Amazon can significantly reduce this pollution by providing customers with plastic-free options.
