In June, Oceana and La Mer celebrated World Ocean Day in New York City. The luxury skincare company presented Oceana with a $100,000 donation to aid the organization's continuing battle to save the oceans.

La Mer President Maureen Case recognized the impact of Oceana's work to improve the health of the oceans."This is only the beginning of a partnership that will last a long, long time," she said.

In addition to its donation, La Mer presented a limited edition World Ocean Day crème, available in 173 locations in North America and select La Mer counters around the world. Many La Mer counters in department stores featured the partnership on colorful displays.

Since 2005, La Mer has worked with Oceana to promote ocean protection and restoration. La Mer has supported Oceana's Partners Award Gala, which honors outstanding work in the field of marine conservation.

"I got involved with Oceana initially because I grew up beside the ocean in New England and loved it. When I learned that the collapse of the New England cod fishery was final, with all that meant for the communities and fishermen there, I wanted to help. I started to read more and more scientific reports clearly showing that our oceans are headed towards an irreversible collapse and I learned that Oceana was actually doing something about it. I like their science-based, results driven approach. When asked to join the board, I felt that I had to join and do all that I could." -- Sam Waterston, actor, Market Wire, Jan. 24, 2008
