Our Ocean Festival celebrates our five marine protected areas, the biodiversity below the water and on our rock platforms - our marine flora, fauna and mega fauna.

Our oceans cover 80% of our planet, generates 50% of the oxygen we breathe and absorb 25% of all carbon dioxide emissions - we need to keep our oceans healthy.

Add your event to our Ocean Festival 2024 program (30 November - 8 December) by filling in the form below.
