It has been 10 years since the establishment of the Center for Oceanic Studies and Integrated Education at Yokohama National University. So far, the center has produced 163 graduates with a graduate-level minor in the "Integrated Ocean Management Program," which aims to develop human resources that are capable of thinking about ocean issues as a whole. In efforts to contribute to society using our wide-ranging knowledge of the ocean, in recent years we have worked closely with local entities, including the City of Yokohama, to develop communities and individuals capable of thinking and acting on behalf of the ocean.
