| Research Abstract |
Environmental restoration experiments using aeration combined with coastal bioremediation have been conducted in Omura Bay, an enclosed bay being suffering from hypoxia formation in the bottom water every summer, as a model area. Monitoring of nutrients, red-tide outbreaks, and microbial activities related to oxygen consumption has been made in parallel with the monitoring of hypoxia formation in the bottom water. The effectiveness of the restoration was synthetically evaluated and a practical plan for restoring sustainability and autonomous regulation of the Omura Bay ecosystem was newly proposed. Following our proposal, Nagasaki Prefecture will start practical field experiments in Omura Bay from the fiscal year 2014 as a part of the Action Plan for Environmental Conservation and Regional Promotion of Omura Bay.
