Building a Sustainable Sato-umi by Making Kashiwajima Island in Kochi a Living Museum
NPO Kuroshio Experience Center
Kashiwajima Island in Kochi is a treasure trove of biodiversity despite its temperate zone location. This NPO engages in activities with the aim of creating a sustainable model for sato-umi by considering the entire island, including its abundant nature and people living there, as a living museum. These activities balance biodiversity conservation and reuse initiatives from the standpoint of the local fishing and tourism industries.
