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.

West Indian manatees prefer warm water and undergo long, annual migrations between warm, winter areas and productive, summer areas. These manatees are vulnerable to extinction. Without careful management of the human activities that threaten this species, it could be gone forever. You can help by making a symbolic manatee adoption. All gifts go towards keeping our oceans safe for manatees and other marine life. https://bit.ly/2MTTkpf Subscribe to our channel to join our community of Wavemakers! 🌊 LET’S STAY CONNECTED: INSTAGRAM » https://www.instagram.com/oceana/ TWITTER » http://twitter.com/oceana FACEBOOK » https://www.facebook.com/oceana/
