Mission Statement

OctoNation empowers a global community of cephalopod enthusiasts by sharing educational & entertaining media in a fun & informative way to inspire the world to be a collective "nation" of positive change for a vibrant, thriving ocean.

Description

OctoNation just recently passed 250,000 followers across all social media platforms in April 2018

Our Founder/CEO Warren Carlyle has visited and interviewed Senior Aquarists & Cephalopod Researchers at

San Antonio Aquarium, San Antonio TX
Austin Aquarium, Austin TX
Moody Gardens Aquarium, Galveston Texas
SeaLife Bristol Aquarium, United Kingdom
Aquarium of the Pacific, Long Beach CA
Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta GA

The goal being inline with our organizations mission to inspire the "nation" with educational and entertaining media as we ask our members LIVE on Facebook what questions they have. These videos get hundreds of comments & thousands of views! We hope to increase our distribution of these videos & bring along volunteers & influencers that would be interested in spotlighting the nation!

We've been featured on @TheEllenShow's Instagram 4 times to over 50 million people

Some Goals are

To create a definitive guide of all octopus species and have it illustrated by artists from the nation (ideally) We'd like to make this widely available to staff members who work with octopuses in every single aquarium in the world.

To work with various journalists, underwater photographers/videographers to create short educational videos

To fund the first Octopus Only Aquarium & research institute

We've got big things to do! & we want you to be apart of it!
