The students had the opportunity to learn about fish in a welcoming environment. There was also a section where the students could touch young yellowtail; although they were initially hesitant, their curiosity led them to interact with the fish.

The “Nagasaki Blue Economy” project is a key component of the initiative to cultivate individuals who will support the fisheries industry in the future. The plan is to continue organizing educational activities focused on fish and the fisheries industry for a diverse audience.
