Coastcare Week is on between the 1 – 7 December 2025. It’s a time to reflect on the relationship between land, water and sea.
As we head into Coastcare Week 2025, the opportunity to engage younger learners through a thoughtful virtual excursion is timely and powerful. By focusing on coastal ecosystems and connecting land, water, sea and human actions, you can help students feel part of the story and part of the solution.
