Seaweek New Zealand - Fish for the future

I
NZAEE Seaweek 2010 - Fish for the Future! March 7-14, 2010

Seaweek: Fish for the Future - “Tiakina ngā tupuranga whakaheke”

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! Watch this website for updates on national, regional and local activities around this theme happening before, during and after Seaweek.

Listen out for NZ singer song-writer Nick Hohepa's music and his new single, "Mollusc Hunter" as part of Seaweek.

The ultimate in recycled bottles...

The ultimate in recycled bottles - a catamaran that can sail from San Fransisco to Sydney...
Eco-adventurer David de Rothschild is set to sail from San Francisco in America to Sydney in Australia, in a catamaran made from 12,500 recycled bottles and with a mast made from an old aluminium irrigation pipe.

De Rothschild is a 31 year old descendant of England's banking dynasty, and his five crew will drink water recycled from their urine and eat vegetables grown hydroponically during the three month sea journey.

Now this has to be the ultimate in recycling and green in application.
