Brought together by the research on tidal flats and seashores that we did in our student days, even after graduation we "Gata girls" (tideland girls) continue as a hobby with our research, environmental studies, and hosting of events. While the Gata girls use a variety of seashore areas for their activities, I am currently engaged in a program focused on children in Amagasaki and Omiya City called "Children's Local Collaboration and the Creation of Marine Culture." I realize now that it's when adults enjoy themselves to the hilt that they also enjoy a continuous inspiration for their activities.
