th year, the 2019 program was a huge success, with more than 10,000 people attending over 300 activities right across Victoria’s coastline. Whether it was gannet gawking in Portland, snorkelling in Altona or dinosaur discovery in Inverloch, there was something for everyone.
Absolutely Everyone, the Victorian Government’s State Disability Plan. In Melbourne, four all abilities snorkelling activities were on offer, with each event being fully booked and very well received. There was also a focus on diversity, with event organisers working with multicultural support organisations like Diversitat to ensure people from different backgrounds had the chance to access the beautiful coastline Victoria has to offer. Coastcare Victoria coordinator Bec Cross had the opportunity to attend an enviro craft activity at Indented Head with three Burmese families who had arrived in Geelong as refugees only one month prior. “The families had come from living in the mountains, and had never visited a beach, so it was incredible to watch them as they learnt about shells and shark eggs, and got creative with the help of an interpreter,” Bec said.
