Who Owns the Coast?
Sea kayaking is largely a coastal activity. Traversing the coastline and seeing the many and varied uses of it are at times fascinating and awe-inspiring, at other times, bewildering and distressing. Coastlines are in sharp focus like never before with the reality of climate change and sea level rise firmly in the public discourse. Compared to Australia and other developed nations, Papua New Guinea has a vastly different pattern of use and perception of coastline. This unit is designed to raise students awareness of coastal use conflict, how this might vary across cultures, and to cast our eyes to the future and decide how we might envisage our collective coastal future.

Risky Business
Sea kayaking alone around Papua New Guinea is seen by many people as risky. Risk is an integral part of life. How we identify and manage risk in our life determines the activities we participate in, and our perception of the activities that other do. Often our understanding of risk, both physical and emotional, and particularly when we are young, is not fully informed. This unit will pose questions about the nature of risk in our life and develop a personal risk profile. It will help us understand why we choose to participate in some activities and not others from a risk assessment perspective.

Oceans of Possibility
Andrew Hughes will be travelling around Papua New Guinea and encountering ocean currents, aspects of ocean life and maybe gaining new insights into the ocean and its characteristics that people don't generally see, feel or understand.
This unit therefore explores the notion of the ocean as the last frontier of exploration and understanding left on earth.
It looks at the possibilities of knowing and understanding a great deal more than what we do now.
