We received a great response to the ``Visit of seaweed bed restoration - Dive and tour'' held last year at the seaweed bed restoration site at Riviera Zushi Marina.
We will be holding a "dive and tour" event again this year, and we will be giving a special tour of the seaweed bed restoration site, which has expanded in area since last year. You can see the changes and evolution from last year.

In recent years, as a result of global warming and other factors, seaweed beds, which are habitats for fish, are rapidly disappearing. This is a serious problem nationwide, and the denudation of rocky areas is having a major negative impact on marine ecosystems and the fishing industry.
Therefore, the Blue Carbon Belt Riviera Institute, a general incorporated association, is proposing the construction of a "Blue Carbon Belt®" and is conducting Japan's first seaweed bed regeneration project in marinas at Riviera Zushi Marina and Riviera Seabornia Marina. doing. This project, which aims to mitigate climate change, will reduce CO2 by absorbing and fixing carbon, regenerating a sustainable marine environment, conserving marine biodiversity, restoring fisheries resources, and contributing to the development of local economies.

★What is Blue Carbon Belt®?
Riviera proposes a continuous marine ecosystem restoration zone that connects seaweed bed restoration in the form of a belt.
We aim to spread this concept, which contributes to both environmental issues and the local economy, throughout Japan.
Aiming for Japan's oceans to be wrapped in the Blue Carbon Belt®, we will first transform Sagami Bay into the "Shonan Blue Carbon®"!

We will be holding a ``Seaweed Bed Restoration Tour'' again this year, and we will provide a special tour of the seaweed bed regeneration site, which has expanded in area since last year. Please take a look at the changes and evolution since last year as part of our efforts to protect the rich ocean and realize a decarbonized society together with local communities.
