VISION

Realizing a sustainable and prosperous future through the exploration of uncharted territories

background

Our Mission

The ocean, covering 70% of the Earth’s surface, is home to the largest ecosystem on the planet, which plays an essential role in sustaining life for humans and other living creatures.Human beings have utilized the ocean in various ways, such as fisheries, shipping, renewable energy and so on.
Furthermore, as the atmosphere and oceans are inseparably linked, marine ecosystems play a significant role in climate change.We believe that the protection of the ocean environments is fundamental for the prosperity of human beings, and proper use of the ocean is neccesary for future development.

Scientific knowledge of the ocean is essential for the proper development, use and conservation of the oceans, but the large part of the ocean is yet scientifically unknown.
Our mission is to achieve a sustainable future in which the oceans and human beings coexist in harmony, by scientifically exploring the ocean.
