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.

Extinct Ocean Animals
March 20, 2024

Imagine diving into ancient oceans, encountering creatures long extinct. Would you dare to swim alongside a colossal Megalodon, its jaws capable of crushing anything in its path? Or perhaps a powerful Mosasaur, the apex predator of the Late Cretaceous seas?

These magnificent, yet terrifying, marine animals once ruled the deep. Their sheer size and predatory nature make us wonder about the courage it would take to share their waters.

So, the question remains: would you take a swim with any of these extinct marine animals?
