Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify the state of ocean leisure and reconstruction after the Great East Japan Earthquake. Research findings suggested that more bathers had returned to the sea in 2012 as compared to 2011. People recognized a change in the topography at various surfing spots. Both local government employees and volunteers from all over Japan have been working to remove dangerous debris in the disaster affected areas. The study attempted a philosophical exploration into the current state of leisure activities, as well as a revival of environmental ethics. Researchers have long-term developmental goals, not short-term intentions. This includes infrastructure development and economic stimulation. The primary emphasis is on what kind of legacy should be left. The catastrophic damage caused by the massive tsunami led many people to avoid the sea, but recovery is steadily moving forward, thanks to the numerous people who feel as if they have a strong connection to the sea.
