The sea gives dynamism to Japan. This energy can be felt in the small fishing boats that start from their northern capes to traverse the length and breadth of the Japan Sea, in shipbuilding yards that dot the Inland Sea, and Japan's shipping industry, which operates around the globe. The more people that move about the country via the sea, the more animated it will become. In addition to the fishing, shipbuilding, and maritime transport industries, whose dynamism derives from the sea, new industries must also be created to take full advantage of the unique benefits the sea affords.
