The B&G Foundation hosts the "B&G Tokyo Bay Marine Experience Academy" for elementary and middle school students, with the objective of training the next generation of students working in ocean related fields, through activities such as visiting professionals working in such fields, and a four-nights five-days program aimed at helping the students to understand the appeal and importance of these jobs.We propose that such cross-border type learning experiences are effective in training the next generation of human talent in ocean fields, based on positive research results showing how participants' views change before and after the experience.
