Footprints for our Future
The Choices we make

If you live near the coast or even if your school is thousands of kilometres from the sea, learning to live, work and play in a sustainable way will help to protect and preserve many of our precious land and marine environments.

Please note: Many of the materials available (Jan 06) are in draft form. Further information will be added and refinements will occur leading up to Seaweek.
