Community Code of Conduct: 10 Guidelines for MPCN

As a member of Marine Parents Community Network (MPCN), we ask that you follow these 10 Guidelines for Commenting. Our volunteers review all comments before they're shared, and any that don't meet our guidelines will be edited or in some cases, removed. If a member continues to post content that doesn't follow our guidelines, they might be removed from the group or community. Let's look out for each other and maintain a positive, supportive environment. Semper Fi! 10 Reglas en Español
