Meet The Locals host Nic Vallance gives a taste of what Seaweek is all about in this half-hour special, opening up our great natural resource.

New Zealand has three times as much ocean to its name as it does land and Nic goes in search of some of the great marine conservation stories up and down the country. 

Tune in as she talks about preserving our oceans and explores the world-famous and sparkling waters of the Poor Knights marine reserve.

Seaweek is an annual event run by the NZ Association for Environmental Education that allows New Zealanders to come together and, celebrate the sea. It provides a wide range of opportunities for people to learn about our fantastic marine environment and share their experiences of the sea.

Seaweek is about exciting and inspiring all New Zealanders to renew their connection with the sea. It’s 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 habits, characteristics and inhabitants.

A series of themes has been developed for Seaweek over the next five years, starting with 2010 – Fish for the Future!

National Seaweek Marine Leadership Competition is here in Tutukaka, and involves a trip to the stunning Poor Knights Islands Marine Reserve, More here
