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.

Eunomia Report
May 05, 2022

Major beverage brands have pledged to increase recycled content in single-use plastic bottles to 25-50% by 2025. However, a new study by consulting firm Eunomia, prepared for Oceana, indicates these commitments will not significantly reduce plastic pollution overwhelming our oceans.

Instead, the study highlights a simple, historically proven solution: refillable bottles. This concept, still widely utilized globally, offers a more effective approach to mitigating plastic waste than current industry targets.
