"Riviera Shonan Beach Clean" was carried out over four days. In addition to providing information on the beach conditions of the coasts of 13 municipalities to JAMSTEC's marine litter research, we also used "town coins" as an initiative to revitalize the local economy by "connecting the sea and the city."As a measure against isolated areas in the event of a disaster, there is also the "Marine Disaster Prevention Drill -From the Beach to the Beach-" that transports people and goods to neighboring towns, and the "Marine Goods Transport Training -From the Sea to the Beach-" in collaboration with the Coast Guard Department. It was carried out under the supervision of beach cleanup participants.

At the symposium on the sea, we discussed "the future from the sea" from various perspectives, from the environment to finance, with experts on the sea.
