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.

How to prevent 7.6 billion bottles from becoming ocean plastic pollution each year | Oceana
January 28, 2020

Oceana's new report reveals the beverage industry could prevent 7.6 billion plastic bottles (a 22% reduction) from polluting our oceans annually. This significant decrease is achievable by increasing the volume of soft drinks and water sold in refillable bottles by just 10%.

To protect marine life, Oceana calls on companies to publicly commit to reducing single-use plastic production and increasing their share of refillable bottles. Learn more about this initiative and join our community of Wavemakers: http://bit.ly/2U516hQ.
