Kagoshima Prefectural Fisheries Senior High School received the National Maritime Award in August 2016, in recognition of its ocean education activities. At the school, our students and teachers take part in marine observations and tuna longline fishing resource studies, and also actively work towards the attainment of advanced qualifications, in an effort to contribute to the rebuilding and revival of the fishing and maritime transport industries. We look forward to the further development of our ocean education activities and hope to contribute back to our community.
