Speaking of World Ocean Day (June 8) and our shared connections & influence, June is also Orca Month! Here are some examples of events that happened *last* week -- watch for more coming up!

🌧️🌊🌎🌏🌍 HAPPY WORLD OCEAN DAY! Today, June 8 (annually) is World Ocean Day, and a good time to remember that what happens in our Thornton Creek Watershed flows out into Lake Washington, and eventually into Puget Sound & the Pacific where it mingles into the "World Ocean" and connects us all! Thank you for helping us make/keep it clean & healthy! 💙

All eyes on our blue planet this .

The ocean connects every coastline, every community, and every one of us. When people come together with a shared purpose, we can protect the waters that sustain life, strengthen communities, and inspire action across the globe.

“Many small people, in many small places, doing many small things, can change the face of the world.” — African proverb
“Many drops make a mighty ocean.” — Japanese proverb
“One broomstick breaks easily, but the bundle is strong.” — Kenyan proverb

This , let’s stand together for a thriving ocean and a healthier future for our planet.

P.S. A gentle reminder to drop the “s” — we share one interconnected ocean that unites us all. Thinking of it as one global ocean helps inspire the cooperation and collective action needed to protect it for future generations.
