While the Seto Inland Sea has a rich natural environment where a unique ecosystem of living organisms grows, as much as 4,500 tons of marine litter washes ashore annually in the Seto Inland Sea, and most of this litter is believed to have originated in the Seto Inland Sea due to its closed sea area. However, since much of the litter that washes out to sea moves across prefectures and municipalities, the division of roles is unclear as to who collects it and how, and it is essential that a broad-based, cross-disciplinary effort be undertaken by local governments, companies, researchers, and others. Therefore, we will discuss how marine litter can be collected by local companies, venture companies, and researchers working together to form teams from different fields, and what roles each of them should play.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Not limited to the themes of this session, we will have a program of discussions among researchers, startups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives. For details, please refer to the conference website.<\/p>\n
*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.<\/p>\n
