Seaweek 2011: Spotlight on Marine Science, 6-12 March

Each year, the Marine Education Society of Australia (MESA) runs Seaweek to promote educational issues of relevance to the marine environment. In 2011, the theme is ‘Spotlight on Marine Science’. This theme profiles marine science endeavours exploring the earth’s least understood habitat, the marine environments of the world. The theme also provides a focus for students in schools and for communities to inform and inspire them about the significance and value of research on marine and coastal environments. Through a spotlight on the work of scientists we can learn more our marine environment to understand its complex ecosystems and become better equipped to preserve it.
