Welcome to the Seaweek webpage for the Auckland region where you can:
- promote Seaweek events you are organising
- access useful Seaweek resources
- find out more about events that are happening for Seaweek
- share ideas about Seaweek
Seaweek is a national celebration of the importance of the sea. It’s an opportunity for people to take action to enhance beaches and sea. It’s also a time to think about how our actions every day of the year affect our marine and coastal environments.
Seaweek resources
- Visit the national Seaweek page with background on Seaweek, information on events happening throughout the country, resources and Seaweek competitions.
- The Department of Conservation website provides teaching resources on marine themes.
- The Sir Peter Blake Trust website encourages marine environment action with ‘How-to’ guides for coastal cleanups for community groups and schools and 'teacher resources' on caring for the coast.
- Greenpeace red fish mascot available for school talks and public beach cleanups. The Greenpeace big red fluffy fish and red fish guides are part of their campaign to encourage supermarkets to stock and consumers to buy sustainable seafood. If you are organising a beach cleanup or a school talk in the Auckland region and would like Greenpeace to participate please email Neha Saigal.
- Do you want to do your bit for the environment by doing a beach cleanup with your family, friends, neighbours…? If so please click here for the basics of what you need to know.
- If you want to know which areas need cleaning up in the Auckland area check this useful map or email David Bowden at Auckland City.
- Save our seas is an interactive non fiction picture book for children aged 8-12 years. Find more information about the book and links to other useful educational resources on marine issues for children and teenagers here.
If you have a Seaweek resource you would like to share with others please email us.

This sounds like such a great idea, every time I take my son to the beach we always pick up a handful of rubbish on our way back to the car, if only everyone did that (or didn't drop rubbish in the first place!)
