Sandy beach area is surprisingly often overlooked. I really probably not deserved. A protein source in Japan in the past, I have supported a coastal shallow sandy area in this fact. It also has sandy beaches maintain ecosystem services, foster continuity with the support of circulatory function and ecological diversity.

Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. (C.I.T.E.S)

Reports last night JWCS of CITES (CITES) headed to. Aoyama, Shibuya, Tokyo is held in Qatar JWCS CITES COP15 meeting report.
Atlantic bluefin tuna is now talking about reality, I would really shed accurate information? Terms of lack of understanding seems to be great for me. First CITES (CITES) is not a Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, the reason that the conservation of species claims not directly. Without this recognition, the reason that directly related to the tuna and eat it in one form attached Re It did not like. The media gang "could not eat tuna!" Not only with the news. What we are really have problems with that?

Spawning in late August, had been reared in the laboratory-incubated hatchling at the University of artificial spawning nests were part of a desperate nature of the hatch.

To discharge into the natural world from some big raisehead starting that is, individual opinion and not the starting head growth is also good, quite a difficult problem.
This individual was raised in a GPS to measure or which route to move to set up offshore.
But apparently roundworm (see photo) that killed two individuals had been parasitic, one plant is dying.

Food has on the body where the parasite was wondering though, so I eat quite large.
Parasites are quite grotesque picture, you see, click the continue reading!

Pacific Aichi think to Marine Protect Area〜　
Learning from the Pacific coast of Japan Culture
＊ COP10 support partnerships project＊

COP10 will be held this year in Nagoya, thecoastal marine area are listed on agenda.
Now, as a mechanism to protect marine biodiversity "Marine Protect Area"are required to be specified. This time, the coastal beaches Atsumi Peninsula in Aichi table is already"Marine Protect Area"Do you know of an area say. Under the law continues to beach erosion table was developed regulations were beaches and seabed. Atsumi Peninsula on the Pacific Coast beaches during the high economic growth to 3km offshore, it was banned gravel excavation. Time restrictions and reasons disaster, although the beach after a few decades landed turtle is maintained fishing whitebait rich in sea seine land, surfing, scenery beautiful sandy beaches and activities such as fishing It was left as a future beach is protected. Marine Reserve in the way Japan is still under discussion, if the Atsumi Peninsula beach thorough verification of this"Marine Protect Area"ought to get tips. Thus, a region blessed with warm conditions, and from biodiversity to think, you can find new possibilities for the conservation of the coastal ocean. Interest you would love the ocean, and I hope you join the you.

Cold that this morning, winds were weak, so the beach will not feel so cold. The sea contains a few surfers swell around the waist. Anglers from returning to it or less on weekdays. This morning the fish had been shipwrecked like deep-sea fish. Still does not seem so ache, that came and stopped a little worried. About 70 to 80cm in length. The fish turned out to family Akanamada Akanamada Lampridiformes. So it was a very rare fish. If you look good to eat. (Laughs) Thank you and many opinions. Scientific name: Lophotus lacepede Giorna, is poorly understood as well as ecological somehow spit out ink from the cloaca to 1809. It was also good fresh foolish.

I thought I was good for sea turtles, "abuse"? Why not thinking about it.

Turtle's recent "artificial hatchery" and "discharge meeting" why do bad, we are asked more and more opportunities for me to explain.

Vehicles on the beach before the invasion in Enshu coast, the fact that it was dangerous to sea turtles nest laying eggs. (4WD around the boom I)
Currently, however, the vehicle entry to the beach is prohibited. (4WD boom has now turned to cautious recklessness as conscious indeed stepping blindly off naturally) before transplantation and the meeting of the turtles released into the egg hatchery unavoidably I have to keep the hatchery and released in the future meeting so that I think there has been or will be implemented?
Recent research, "artificial hatchery" and "discharge meeting" really "Abuse" the goodthat has become known.

I think these examples there are many other sea turtle protection?
For example, killifish and the discharge of fireflies, the scene was originally biological (including genetic level) would be let go soon stop. Always purchase the latest information, activities must be flexible.
So as not to blur the focus laid the question and received a lot.
1. Do not help but hope for the extinction of species conservation groups (such as an opportunity to consider whether conservation at all really)
2. Do not be too excessive for the proportion of transplants to artificial hatchery (with natural sand, despite the promising enough to hatch or not to transplant too excessive-exhaustive, so-called overkill.)
3. You do not have daytime running very high risk of meeting effluent
4. That it is not a natural structure of the turtles can not escape from artificial hatcheries
5. I have not replaced the maintenance activities for conservation activities should be
06. Or flexibility for activities leading to the better.

What our Conservation reconsider again?

Rain was falling the morning is beginning to wind up the northwest. The sea has broken knee swell waves around a bit. We also popped in and freaked floating in the sea and was followed by surfing every day because there was no wave. Northwest winds will spread looks like it would be a stronger break. In the afternoon,NPO the weather caster Networkserves as an inspection of you and shoot on the beach table. Cold northwest wind and clear sky beach. A flock of seagulls on the beach there. Looks like a flock of anchovy, sand seems to have been launched under pressure of seagulls. It's getting close to the group.

Beppu, Oita Prefecture in the "sea of SATOUMI Symposium" was held. Even if the table is also working on the beach is said sea SATOUMI, in fact, quite the image is not clear. I have to interpret that benefit human involvement based think woodlands, What's it mean to be activated in the circulation can cause a variety of biological disturbance. However, from sea sand flats, rocky shore and the size of the cycle? I feel the time is different. As the sand facing the ocean, or the benefits obtained with Dobatsu happening without any disturbances, loud, honestly, and that organisms in the case of flats jitter? Sometimes the disturbance is stimulated by human to set foot even in the same flats, but it is active or become diverse and varied. Hey it is difficult to interpret the village and the sea. However, what is regarded as good, including the way people relate to various sea SATOUMI.
