Activities: By sharing high-energy initiatives across areas, we will create a large movement to change society that could not have been achieved by individual activities. We will discover elementary and junior high school students who are highly interested in the ocean, and will further expand the base of human resource development that will be responsible for marine environment protection activities, which we have been working on since 2021. In addition, by responding to such children’s interests and concerns beyond the framework of the school education system, we will develop human resources who will become future leaders in marine environment protection.
