Seaweek began as an art competition that was promoted in all states of Australia by MESA in 1987 and was accompanied by an educational kit consisting of marine activities and relevant information brochures. Between 1988 and 2014 Seaweek was the MESA\u2019s major national public awareness campaign. It was conducted annually, usually in March, to focus community awareness, provide information and encourage appreciation of the sea. Seaweek was also adopted by MESA in New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Each year a different Seaweek theme was chosen and a national coordinator appointed. This provided a focus for student and the community activities, the publication of educational materials and media promotions about marine and coastal environments. Over 27 years MESA also had a team of dedicated individuals and groups around Australia and New Zealand who promote marine awareness and provide educational events in their regions to make Seaweek an on-going success. Throughout that time Seaweek even had its own Trade Marked logo.\u00a0Details of each theme plus sample curriculum materials and examples of regional evens are available on the old MESA web site at www.mesa.edu.au\/seaweek.asp<\/a>.<\/p>\n
