Seaweek 2017 - Toiora te Moana – Toiora te Tangata – Healthy Seas, Healthy People - celebrates all things marine! Get an early start on planning for this wonderful event.

Seaweek is New Zealand’s annual national week about the sea with events being held all over New Zealand. Hosted by the NZ Association for Environmental Education (NZAEE), Seaweek focuses on learning from the sea. It’s about exciting and inspiring all New Zealanders to renew their connections with the sea! Not just for children or those involved with formal education – it’s a time for all of us to get to know our ocean, its habitats, characteristics and inhabitants better.

The theme for Seaweek 2017 is Toiora te Moana – Toiora te Tangata – Healthy Seas, Healthy People.
