Japan

Japan is strongly involved in Census of Marine Life research activities. CoML Japan is coordinated by JAMSTEC, the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology. In addition, two CoML Ocean Realm Field Projects – NaGISA (nearshore) and CMarZ (zooplankton) – have coordinating offices in Japan, as does the Future of Marine Animal Populations (FMAP) program.

CoML Japan Contact: Katsunori Fujikura, JAMSTEC

Japan also supports a Regional Node for the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). It is hosted by the National Institute for Environmental Studies. Contact Junko Shimura.
