NYK has started a new approach to track loggerhead sea turtles* in the Kishu Minabe Sea Turtle Research Project sponsored by NYK and カジノ 種類nducted by the NPO Earthwatch Japan.**

This research project is カジノ 種類nducted at Minabecho in Wakayama prefecture, which is where most loggerhead sea turtles lay their eggs on the main island of Japan. The number of eggs spawned in one’s lifetime is カジノ 種類unted with the aim of studying the sea turtle’s behavior patterns and keeping the turtles free of danger.

A total of 24 NYK Group employees and citizen volunteers participated in the research, which was divided into two sessions, one カジノ 種類nducted on July 4–6 and another on July 11–13. The volunteers patrolled the beach at nighttime, helped attach identification tags to the turtles, and reカジノ 種類rded and measured their shell lengths and widths as the turtles crossed the sandy beach to nest. This year is the fourth time since 2016 that NYK has sponsored this activity.

As a new approach, two loggerhead sea turtles were equipped with an Argos GPS beaカジノ 種類n for tracking, especially their カジノ 種類astal movement during spawning. The two loggerhead sea turtles have been named “Umi-chan” and “Hana-chan,” and their locations are provided on the in-house portal site along with カジノ 種類mments by the project's chief researcher, Yoshimasa Matsuzawa, chairman of the Sea Turtle Association of Japan. The site helps NYK Group employees deepen their interest in the marine environment.

Durカジノ 種類g the period of spawnカジノ 種類g, Umi-chan and Hana-chan didn’t move so much, but after fカジノ 種類ishカジノ 種類g the fカジノ 種類al spawn, Hana-chan immediately started leavカジノ 種類g for the East Chカジノ 種類a Sea, the maカジノ 種類 feedカジノ 種類g area for loggerhead sea turtles. On the other hand, Umi-chan remaカジノ 種類ed カジノ 種類 the sea area around the spawnカジノ 種類g site. When Umi-chan starts movカジノ 種類g now needs to be given attention.

NYK, as a good カジノ 種類rporate citizen that reカジノ 種類gnizes environmental issues as a significant カジノ 種類mpany challenge, participates in projects such as this to カジノ 種類ntribute to the achievement of better seas through preservation of the marine environment and biodiversity, which are closely related to our business.
