School holidays have started, and the popular Summer by the Sea program is back this January with the theme ‘Coastal Connections’.
With a mixture of in-person and online events, everyone can connect with the coast, wherever they are across the state.
Victorians are encouraged to get online and check out the program over the summer holidays between January 4 and February 5, 2023.
Summer by the Sea is an annual program delivered by Coastcare Victoria with the support of providers, including government agencies, local experts and volunteer groups.
The 2023 program includes something for everyone, including a boat tour of the Gippsland Lakes, learning about the coastal dynamics of Inverloch Surf Beach and rock pooling and a geology walk at Walkerville.
Live online events cover topics such as great white shark ecology, places to go snorkelling this summer, a panel on ways to help the coast, and more.
Summer by the Sea activities will be held on the Country of many traditional owners from across the state.
Videos will be presented with captions in English and several other languages.
Bookings for coastal walks and live online events are essential.
