This World Oceans Day, we're celebrating the wild coastline that makes Olympic National Park so special. 🌊 

When you visit the coast, help preserve this sensitive ecosystem by following Leave No Trace principles and keeping these tips in mind:
🎒 Pack it in, pack it out 
🥾 Stick to the trail 
🦭 Keep your distance from wildlife 
🐚 Leave what you find — seashells and tide pool critters included 

With support from our partner wanatlparkfund, we're excited to take "leave no trace" to a whole new level by replacing backcountry privies along the coast with new, sustainable toilets that protect the ecosystem and allow for an improved visitor experience for backcountry adventurers. Here's to a coast that stays healthy, wild, and inspiring — for visitors and wildlife alike! 🐋
