World Migratory Bird Day (WMBD) was initiated in 2006 and is an annual awareness-raising campaign highlighting the need for the protection of migratory birds and their habitats.

World Migratory Bird Day

On the second weekend each May, people around the world take action and organize public events such as bird festivals, education programmes and birdwatching excursions to celebrate WMBD. Migratory birds connect all corners and almost every environment of the world along their migration paths. WMBD is a global event and also hopes to connect the world, and bring together organizations, governments and dedicated people to protect migratory birds for future generations. WMBD works as a network to increase public knowledge about migratory birds and their importance and also connects groups of people to share, celebrate with and learn from each other. 2013 WMBD FLYER: english | français | español | [ additional languages ]

Ocean Life Education - About Us

Richard Coward studied Marine Ecology at Queensland's Griffith University. He started his career running Underwater World education programs and went on to become Curator of Fishes at the famous Sunshine Coast tourist attraction. This profession saw him help implement a new aquarium in South Korea at Haeundae Beach; it was here Richard noticed whilst undergoing a routine maintenance dive on the aquariums intake pipe that there was a complete lack of marine life, due to overfishing pressure. Having witnessed such catastrophic devastation he recognised this as a wakeup call for Australia and its possible environmental future.

This coupled with a realisation of increasing difficulty for many children to visit great learning facilities such as public aquariums due to increasing expenses and the tyranny of distance brought about the idea of taking the sea to the children, providing live marine life incursions.
