About Seaweek
Seaweek is an annual event run by the NZ Association for Environmental Education that encourages New Zealanders to come together, to learn about our fantastic marine environment and share our experiences of the sea and the coastal environment.
The Theme for Seaweek this year is Fish for the Future!
The above event in the Far North will focus on how we can look after our coastal taonga and marine environment to ensure that our grandchildren will also enjoy the abundance of the sea.
At these family events at Ahipara on Sunday MArch 7 and Taipa (on Sunday March 14) you will be able to find information about a range of local groups and agencies who are involved in caring for the coastal and marine environment and discover how you can be involved.
Also at the beach will be a selection of beach and water sports operators ready to demonstrate a range of activities to get you out there and active without the need for a motorized vehicle! So come along and have a go!
