About OPRI

Promoting Ocean Policy Studies

OPRI strives to establish and promote ocean policy studies, since this constitutes an area of knowledge that is vital to cross-cutting solutions to policy challenges relating to the oceans. OPRI tracks the latest developments in ocean policies in Japan and other countries, together with the latest trends in ocean policy research, and collects relevant data. In addition, it also carries out awareness raising activities in order to contribute to the development and promotion of comprehensive and interdisciplinary ocean policy studies in Japan.

As part of these efforts, OPRI co-hosts seminars relating to ocean policy with the Japan Society of Ocean Policy and provides other kinds of support to the Society's activities.
