Region(s): Nationwide

Type(s): national Events

Seaweek is an opportunity for all ages to discover the many ways that our lives are connected to the sea. Seaweek comprises a wide range of events, activities, opportunities, competitions and calls to action.

In March every year, educators across Aotearoa encourage and promote events and community action projects to inspire and enable this connection, through:‍

• activities and presentations within schools

• community beach clean-ups

• kayaking and snorkeling experiences

• marine ecosystem field trips and engagements with citizen science

Seaweek is Aotearoa New Zealand’s annual national week about the sea. Coordinated nationally by Sir Peter Blake Marine Education and Recreation Centre (MERC), it focuses on learning from the sea. The goal is to draw attention to the ecosystem which makes up 93% of Aotearoa New Zealand’s territory and covers 71% of the planet and highlight how important it is to all our lives, no matter how near or far we are from it!
