Kashiwajima in Otsuki is a treasure island located in the southwestern end of Kochi Prefecture with rich marine resources. NPO: Kuroshio Zikkan Center regards Kashiwajima herself as a Natural Museum and has been challenging the idea of“Sato Umi Zukuri” in conjunction with local citizens, volunteers, town or prefecture administrations, other NPOs, and various organizations. “Sato Umi” is an idea that people have to give something back to nature (the ocean) and cultivate it in some way beyond just getting its blessings, in order to be able to create a sustainable world. “Sato Umi Zukuri” aims to create a sustainable seaside inhabitable area according to the idea of “Sato Umi”. The center’s activities are divided into 3 large action categories: 1) Action to appreciate nature from the bottom of one’s heart; 2) Action to improve people’s livelihoods, making the best use of nature; and 3) Action to protect both nature and people’s livings. These three categories are mutually related.This paper shows how environmental education is connected with local government preservation and revitalization illustrated by several examples of the center’s actions carried out in a local field.
