Hawke's Bay Seaweek coordinator Gabriela Gomez Fell says New Zealanders are being urged to think about their contribution to sustainable fishing during this year's Seaweek, with the theme Fish for the future (tiakina nga tupuranga whakaheke) chosen to raise awareness of the role of fish in healthy oceans.
Seaweek’s host organization, the New Zealand Association for Environmental Education (NZAEE), has opted for a more challenging series of themes over the next five years to facilitate greater learning about the marine environment.
“One of the aims of education for sustainability is to encourage people to learn for themselves and in the lead up to and during Seaweek there will be many opportunities to do just that”, says Gabriela Gomez Fell.
