Rising awareness about activities to protect the ocean environment
Public awareness and educational activities
The environmental education plays important role to raise people’s awareness about environmental problems and to protect the ocean environment. We have worked on various activities for and disseminate the information of the ocean environmental protection.
Public awareness and educational activities
1.Activities against marine litter
We organize exhibitions and hands-on events of “Marine Litter Art Works.” Through these events we want to deepen the understanding and raise the awareness about marine litter, which can lead to develop the attitude and consciousness to protect the ocean, such as “not to litter anymore.”
Furthermore, we make various leaflets to disseminate and are ready for delivering lectures on marine litter.
Please refer to “Marine Litter Portal Site” for details
Cooperation by：University of Toyama Facuty of Art and Design／ Himi City Kubo Elementary School／Himi Seaside Botanical Garden
