Let's learn about the present state of the ocean , and think about what we can do for the future of the ocean. The exhibition "Sea Forest, Sea Now" is now being held.

The "Umi-no-Mori, Umi-no-Imabari" (Forest of the Sea, Sea Now) exhibition is being held to inform people about the plastic problem and global warming, which are now problems in Japan's oceans, through a variety of contents.

For example, one of the problems facing Japan's oceans today is iso-yaki (rocky shore scorching). Isoyake is said to be the desertification of the sea.

One of the causes of this phenomenon is the indigo, which is considered one of the herbivorous fish. Global warming has expanded the habitat of the indigo, and this phenomenon occurs when the seaweed that they feed on is eaten up.

Because of their poisonous nature and the time and effort required to prepare them, bigeye are not a favorite fish to harvest and are referred to as "underutilized.

So, they decided to develop dried fish and soups, based on the idea that by eating this tasty sea eel (finding value in it), they could naturally reduce the number of rocky shore burns.

Therefore, in this exhibition, we will be collaborating with "Soup Stock Tokyo," a restaurant specializing in eating soup, to develop a soup using indigo, as well as exhibiting artists' works, holding talk events and workshops with guests who are active in the sea, , and live music performances by musicians. Talk events and workshops with sea-based guests, and live performances by musicians will be held.

This will be a valuable opportunity to learn about what is happening in Japan's oceans and the problems they are facing, and to learn about "what's happening in the oceans today.
