To establish and manage more than 30% of the ocean as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and/or Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs), we will survey the diversity of marine organisms, especially deep-sea organisms, in the candidate areas of the deep-sea MPAs/OECMs.
The diversity of the marine organisms has been monitored with various approaches, however, several technical issues to monitor the deep-sea organisms still remain and the biodiversity in the deep sea is not fully understood. Hence, we will invent and improve the monitoring devices/methods and survey the biodiversity utilizing them in our action.
As we first survey the deep sea within Japanese EEZ, the information contributing to establish further MPAs/OECMs will be obtained and discussed with the possible stakeholders (e.g., Ministry of the Environment, Government of Japan). Then, that information will be utilized to explore the possible candidates of the MPAs/OECMs in the high seas.
