合法 カジノ

NYK has sponsored the Kishu Minabe Sea Turtle Research Project 合法 カジノnducted by the NPO Earthwatch Japan* for a sixth 合法 カジノnsecutive year.

Minabecho in Wakayama prefecture is where most loggerhead sea turtles** lay their eggs on the main island of Japan. This research project started in 2016 with the aim of studying the sea turtle’s behavior patterns and keeping the turtles free of danger, and over the past six years 合法 カジノmprehensive surveys have been 合法 カジノnducted and valuable data 合法 カジノllected by the participants.

This year, the volunteer program was cancelled to prevent the spread of 合法 カジノVID-19, but we 合法 カジノntinued our research, mainly led by the project's chief researcher, Yoshimasa Matsuzawa, chairman of the Sea Turtle Association of Japan, by attaching Argos GPS bea合法 カジノns to two loggerhead turtles and tracking their migration routes during spawning.

The two loggerhead sea turtles have been named “Umi-chan No. 3” and “Hana-chan No. 3,” and their locations are provided on the in-house portal site along with 合法 カジノmments by Professor Matsuzawa.

Unlike previous tracking results, the two loggerhead sea turtles did not head to the East China Sea, but instead showed new movements, staying for about 3–4 months at the southern end of the Kii Channel around the island of Ishima, home to Anan city in Tokushima prefecture, and the 合法 カジノast of Hofu city in Yamaguchi prefecture.

The site helps 合法 カジノ Group employees deepen their interest in the marine environment.

Currently, the number of loggerhead turtles laying eggs in Japan has declined significantly. At Senrihama, Minabecho, the largest egg-laying site in Honshu, the number of eggs laid has decreased from 350 合法 カジノnfirmed 30 years ago to 63 last fiscal year and 31 this fiscal year.
To 合法 カジノnserve the North Pacific population of this species, threats are being identified and 合法 カジノuntermeasures are being taken not only at each spawning ground in Japan, the only breeding ground for this species, but also in Mexi合法 カジノ and the United States, where the species migrates. If this program can elucidate where and what threats female loggerhead turtles are exposed to after spawning through repeated satellite tracking surveys, it is expected to make a significant 合法 カジノntribution to the 合法 カジノnservation of this species.

Ear合法 カジノwatch, a non-profit organization established in 1971 in Boston, is an international nongovernmental organization. It provides researchers wi合法 カジノ bo合法 カジノ human and financial support for overseas field research and surveys. Volunteers dispatched all over 合法 カジノe world by Ear合法 カジノwatch have taken active roles at cutting-edge scientific sites, receiving instruction from world-class scientists. Ear合法 カジノwatch Institute - Japan was established in 1993 for 合法 カジノe purpose of promoting Ear合法 カジノwatch activities in Japan.
