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.

In 2021, Coca-Cola stopped selling drinks in refillable glass bottles in Samoa and switched to single-use plastic bottles shipped in from overseas. But Samoa has limited recycling infrastructure, meaning much of that plastic can end up polluting the island and the surrounding ocean. Last month, members of the Samoan and Pacific Islander communities gathered in London to deliver a powerful message to Coca-Cola's largest bottler. Their call to action: Protect our ocean. Bring back reusable packaging. It's time for Coca-Cola to use the solutions it already has.
