Participating with the Kuroshio Ocean Education Foundation for 15 years, initially as a volunteer onboard interpreter, I have aimed to inspire more people to take action in conserving cetaceans and the ocean through education. In order to expand my influence, I pursued expertise in environmental education. Since 2020, I have further challenged myself by assuming the role of CEO and leading the team. I continue to drive forward initiatives in cetacean ecological research and marine education to foster more proactive marine conservation efforts.
