It’s no secret that life on the water underpins the fundamentals of the Airlie Beach community in more ways than geographical, and this July, the Coral Sea Marina will host a memorable celebration for those who love the Airlie Beach lifestyle!
The Better Boating Expo will be held on Friday, the 11th of July, from 10am through to 2pm at the marina to promote better boating practices, including sustainability, the protection of the Great Barrier Reef and the local marine environment, and basic safety whilst on the water.
Aligning with the winter school holiday period, the event hopes to provide families with an enjoyable opportunity to learn and celebrate all things water and boating.
“The goal of the expo is to provide a family-friendly community event, with interactive demonstrations and educational content designed to promote better boating practices, not only to boat owners but to any visitor to the region looking to get out and explore on the water,” explained Coral Sea Marina’s Brand Experience Manager, Roxanne Bowden.
“This would include safety at sea, responsible reef practices, ways to minimise the environmental impact of tourism or boating activities, and to consciously connect more people to the environment.”
Passionate Great Barrier Reef experts will also be in attendance at the expo, leading discussions and workshops focusing on topics like tips and tricks for sustainability, life raft and safety flare demonstrations, knot tying and splicing, Whales of the Whitsundays, and fire equipment training.
Additional information stands and presentations include Queensland Parks and Wildlife, Volunteer Marine Rescue Whitsundays, Maritime Safety Queensland, Tangaroa Blue, Whales of the Whitsundays, Whitsunday Maritime Training Centre, Water Police, Airlie Beach Swim School, plus many more!
With so many opportunities to learn, the expo will also host a kids’ colouring competition, and a delicious ice cream van and face painting station will be operating throughout the day, serving up plenty of fun and smiles right into the afternoon! Save the date!
