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.

Molting Seals
August 26, 2019

Elephant seals undergo a rapid "catastrophic molt," shedding their entire coat quickly. This unique event highlights their vulnerability and the need for ongoing protection.

These molting seals, and all marine mammals, require our support. It's crucial to safeguard them from legislative changes that could weaken existing protections.

Contact Congress today. Tell them to #DefendMarineMammals and oppose any modifications to the Marine Mammal Protection Act. Take action here: https://bit.ly/2NtJ8Ch
