Following the Great East Japan Earthquake, the ocean education activities at Hachinohe City Tanesashi Elementary School were based mainly on conventional classroom learning, but now, study activities conducted in direct contact with the ocean are playing a major role in the school's operations.
Through studies on becoming familiar with, knowing, protecting, and utilizing the ocean, we hope that students will continue to be able to find ways to understand the relationship between humans and the ocean, and realize, think, and take action regarding ways in which humans and oceans can co-exist.
