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.

A GLOBAL WIN!!: 60 countries ratify the Global Ocean Treaty

In a landmark moment for ocean protection, the Global Ocean Treaty reached its 60th ratification over the weekend, clearing the way for the historic agreement to enter into force. �💙

Greenpeace and thousands of our supporters from around the world have been fighting for this incredible win for over 20 years.

Unfortunately, Australia is not part of the 60 countries that ratified despite the government saying we are a leading oceans protector. And as one of the most significant protection treaties in history, it should be prioritised by Australia.
