About Seaweek 2023: Saturday 4th to Sunday 12th March
The theme for Seaweek highlights the holistic element of our relationship with the nature world: healthy seas – healthy people.
We need healthy and sustainable seas to sustain the people forever. To that end it also calls to all of us to take some responsibility for the health and well-being of our coastal and marine environments; we all need to be kaitiaki or guardians of Tangaroa’s realm.
