Ogasawara Marine Center

Ogasawara Marine Center, ran by Everlasting Nature of Asia (NPO in Japan) has made efforts to research and elucidate the ecology of marine organisms, particularly green turtles and humpback whales, and has received international recognition for its findings. 

With the understanding and support of the island’s local organizations and citizens, the Ogasawara Marine Center has been nicknamed the “Turtle Center”. It’s now widely used by people both inside and outside the island as a place for information exchange, education and community interaction.
