The wave is building across the ocean of Hive - please grab your chosen watercraft, from flippers to feet, and test the waters! We'd love you to support this new community.
Every week you will have a choice of the current topic or you can write on any of the previous topics! And did you know you can add a Worldmappin to your post and you'll still be curated by them even though you post in another community? So get pinning your ocean locations!

The idea is to always have some salty content to write about. Whilst as yet we can't offer rewards, @riverflows may give the best ones a tip each week, if she has the time and isn't swept out to see by a rip.
Last Week...
This week @lazzli wrote about his city rivers flowing in the North Carribean sea (what a great idea) and @anne02 was tipped 10 HIVE for her poignant post about family memories on the coast in Venuzuela - such a beautiful piece! @hjrrodriguez also won a tip for their lovely post.
If you love what @oceanlovers is about, please delegate to us so that we can continue to grow and support others. Community maintenance is hard work - any support is really welcome!

I just want to say - thank you for creating this community! I'll definitely enter one of the challenges at some moment - I am sure I have some sea photos in my archive which wasn't published on Hive.
You're welcome - we'd love to see some posts, even if it's not in the challenge.
Thank you! You should probably also mention that people can add the worldmapping code to their ocean posts - many people post most of their travel-related posts in WorldMappin, hoping to get big ups for listing in WM's travel digest. But actually you can post in any community - the only requirement for a chance to be mentioned in the WM digest is the worldmapping code. I never read an official statement about that, but I experienced that myself many times.
That is true, and I'll make sure to remind people of that! Great thoughts.
