From now on, the theme of the Okinawa Seashore Project will focus on redevelopment. The redevelopment of the seashore is necessary for the people living in rural areas from the standpoint of the restoration of seashore landscape and for the revival of the relation between the people and the ocean. It is also necessary for the residents of urban areas for regular beach use and for the promotion of the tourism industry.
We can say that nowadays, this need has become stronger in Okinawa Prefecture. Because of the deep relation between its people and the ocean, Okinawa Prefecture could become a leader in redevelopment projects for creating seashores that could attract people.
