In honor of World Oceans Day on June 8th, We’re partnering with The Ocean Foundation to Host our #OMNItalk on Wednesday, June 14th.

The Ocean Foundation is a unique community foundation with a mission to support, strengthen, and promote those organizations dedicated to reversing the trend of destruction of ocean environments around the world. In honor of World Oceans Day on June 8th, we have asked them to judge our Instagram challenge and bring our communities together to raise awareness about protecting and preserving our precious oceans.

We’re mixing it up this month and our June #OMNItalk will be on Wednesday June 14th at 9:30AM PST. An #OMNItalk is a Twitter chat where we ask our Twitter audience about specific topics that inspire and encourage. The topic this month is about protecting and preserving our oceans.
