Seaweek comprises a wide range of events, activities, opportunities, competitions and calls to action.
The theme for Seaweek – Kaupapa Moana 2019 is Tiakina o Tātou Mōana – Care for our Seas.
Seaweek is New Zealand’s annual national week about the sea. Hosted by the New Zealand 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 everyone to get to know our ocean, its habitats, characteristics and inhabitants better.
If you would like to organise an event for Seaweek 2019 or get your school or community group involved please contact the Seaweek National Coordinator.
