Profile

Born and raised in Shimoda, joined Shimoda Aquarium in 1989. As I learned that loggerhead turtles come to lay eggs in Shimoda, I started researching egg laying landing in the beach and drifting ashore of dead bodies since 1991. In 2004, I used the green turtle and studied and announced "Changes in nutritional status during the fasting time of the sea turtle."

Comment

Shimoda's sandy beach maintains good condition as a spawning place for sea turtles. Although the number is small, loggerhead turtles lay eggs almost every year. Featuring such information is very important for protecting sea turtles. I hope you will understand that the aquarium is following these activities. In addition, Shimoda Aquarium offers lecture about actual research and study of Japanese sea turtle if you request.
