I just found a message bottle. What should I do?
Outstanding.
Someone is going to be very excited that you found their message in a bottle. It's important that you send your notes and pictures and/or videos to us so they can become part of the bottle's documented journey.
If it is one of our bottles please read the "Helpful information to send us" section below.
If it's not one of ours you should contact your local tv and radio chanels to see if they would be interested in helping you announce your find. They often are.
