Caring for the sea

A week-long series of events designed to focus attention on our seas take place from March 2-10.

Locally, they include a Family Beach Clean Up at Te Haruhi Bay in Shakespear Regional Park on March 3 and a class from Wentworth College furthering their marine studies with the assistance of Gulf Harbour Yacht Club.

A class of Year 8 students at Orewa College are also up for the Junior Ocean Challenge award, for their studies into the Orewa Estuary environment.

Info on the public Family Beach Clean Up day can be found in What’s On
