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.

Symbiosis
April 06, 2024

Symbiosis describes the close, long-term interactions between different biological species. These relationships are incredibly diverse, encompassing everything from mutually beneficial partnerships to those where one organism benefits at another's expense, or even where both are harmed.

Whether these interactions manifest as "best friends forever" or "mortal enemies" depends entirely on the specific nature of the symbiotic relationship. Understanding symbiosis reveals the intricate web of life, where cooperation and conflict are fundamental forces shaping ecosystems.
