The Hakuho Maru (outside site), an academic research vessel owned by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), is currently on the shore at Yokohama Port. We are exhibiting actual machines (only the exterior can be viewed).

Kanagawa Prefecture is adjacent to Tokyo Bay and Sagami Bay, and is home to many marine-related companies and research and development institutions. On the other hand, there is one of Japan's leading tourist and marine leisure areas called Shonan Coast. Experts will explain from the perspective of comprehensive marine management, which is the keyword of modern Japan's maritime policy, in order to encourage the citizens of Kanagawa Prefecture to enhance the literacy of the sea around them.

The B & G Tokyo Bay Marine Experience Academy, which is held for elementary and junior high school students nationwide in 4 nights and 5 days, infiltrates professional work sites who are active on the sea in the Tokyo metropolitan area.
There are plenty of things you can't experience in everyday life such as school classes and social studies tours, such as experiencing ship architects, performing marine sports in the sea of Hayama, and entering the facilities of the Third Regional Coast Guard Headquarters!
It's a great opportunity to enjoy the sea, learn about the sea, and think about your future and dreams!

Precious metals such as gold and silver, and precious mineral resources such as rare earth are present on the seabed, and there are various social expectations. In addition, when considering the use of seabed resources, it is necessary to promote sustainable development while considering the environment.
In this symposium, we will introduce international trends related to the use of seabed resources and the environmental conservation of the ocean, as well as introduce the research results in both the natural and social sciences, which the SIP "Sea Zipang Plan" has been promoting regarding the survey, observation monitoring, and evaluation methods of the marine environment necessary for environmental consideration.
In the comprehensive discussion, we will discuss environmental impact assessments and management for the use of submarine resources and show that "environmental consideration is a shortcut to development."

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment and enforcement of the Basic Ocean on Oceans, and at the same time, the Integrated Ocean Education and Research Center (hereinafter referred to as the Marine Center) of Yokohama National University has been established for 10 years. During this time, the Marine Center has conducted a sub-program program called “Integrated Ocean Management” for graduate students, with the goal of developing human resources who can analyze problems from a bird's-eye view, and can play an active role in society immediately. On the other hand, the situation in Japan and overseas surrounding the sea has also changed, and the formulation of the Third Basic Plan for Ocean Policy is scheduled for next year. Therefore, in the 15th symposium series "Fostering Ocean Culture from Yokohama", we will look back on the situation surrounding the sea over the past 10 years, and in addition to the future prospects of each field, we will discuss the ocean and Yokohama.

From the viewpoints of citizens, university researchers, companies, and the government, we will discuss the ideas necessary for creating comfortable seas in Yokohama across fields.
