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.

Comb Jellies
December 24, 2018

May your days be merry and bright, just like these comb jellies!

These marine creatures produce a fantastic light show in the ocean. They achieve this through a combination of diffracting light via cilia movement and bioluminescence.

It's a truly dazzling display. (๐ŸŽฅ: Ryan M. Bolton)
