On January 29, Oceana's corporate supporter La
Mer invited New York City's top beauty editors to an event hosted by Oceana supporter Bettina Zilkha to announce La Mer's upcoming plans for World Oceans Day on June 8. The event was attended by distinguished guests including Oceana board member Sam Waterston, actor and supporter Jeff Goldblum and Oceana Partners Award honoree Sting.
After the event, Oceana learned of the United Nations' official designation of June 8 as World Oceans Day. In celebration of the U.N.'s designation, La Mer hosted nationwide retail events in late May and early June in Washington, DC, New York, Los Angeles, and Orange County. Guests were treated to signature La Mer treatments and 15 percent of the proceeds went to Oceana.
In addition, La Mer has designed "World Oceans Day" limited-edition Crème de La Mer, with one hundred percent of the net proceeds going toward Oceana's habitat protection initiatives.

Sue and David Rockefeller hosted a party in Oceana's honor at their home in Manhattan on December 4 in the wake of Oceana's victory against illegal driftnetting in the Mediterranean Sea. Oceana CEO Andrew Sharpless and board members Michael Northrop and Sam Waterston attended, and guests received complimentary water-resistant watches courtesy of Nautica.

"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
