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.

Fishermen Explain: The Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA) is Vital
November 15, 2018
The Magnuson-Stevens Act is our key fisheries law that helps ensure our fisheries are healthy and our waters remain abundant for generations to come. Efforts to weaken the MSA are shortsighted and will harm our fisheries. These fishermen from all over the country understand the law's importance, and urge decision makers to keep the law strong, and the oceans full of fish.
