Marine Education Society of Australasia

Dive into the deep blue and discover the secrets of our Marine and Coastal Environments with MESA (Marine & Coastal Special Interest Group), now part of the Australian Association for Environmental Education (AAEE). This website is a hub of knowledge and resources, designed to help educate and inspire future generations about the diverse and fascinating world beneath the waves.

With a rich history dating back to 1984, when a group of 17 passionate marine and environmental educators first came together to establish MESA, this organization has grown to become a national leader in marine education. Now, as part of AAEE, MESA continues its mission to promote awareness and understanding of our precious marine and coastal environments through education and outreach.
