It's World Ocean's Day! šŸŒŠ

From the shoreline's edge to thousands of feet below, the waters that border Washington's vibrant marine ecosystem is one of the Earth's most productive and vulnerable. We need all hands on deck to secure a more resilient future for our oceans.

Summer is the perfect time to slow down, step outside, and rediscover the natural world around you. Need inspiration?

These five activities will help you plan some amazing outdoor adventures for right from your backyard, front porch or neighborhood park.

šŸŒ± On a hot summer day, we all need to cool offā€”plants, too! Fill a watering can and head to your yard or porch to give your plants a drink.

šŸ¦‹ Social Butterflies: Invite some friends to join you on a summer butterfly hunt! Set up a spot near a garden or natural area in the morning or early afternoon, when butterflies are most active, and wait to see who visits.

ā˜€ļø Ray of Sunshine: Capture the beauty of nature through a drawing, photograph or poem, and share it with someone who isn't able to get outside today!

šŸ§ŗ Breakfast Picnic: Start the day off right with a breakfast picnic! Look and listen for signs of nature while you enjoy your feast.

šŸŒŒ Starry Night: Enjoy a warm summer night by watching for constellations, bats, owls and more!
