The UN decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030, hereafter the UN Decade) by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) began in January, 2021. We are involved in the marine research and technology field and would like to provide access to “Ocean, Marine, and Sea” to the general public. “Ocean, Marine, and Sea” contains information on the latest oceanographic investigations, future global environmental problems and their impacts on human lives, and the continuation of development objectives worldwide. Sustainable development goals are directed at men and women of all ages. Thus, we perform education and outreach activities at schools and conduct ongoing research expeditions. In this session, under the GIGA school framework, we conducted trial and error activities with student and teachers from the Saitama Prefectural Kumagaya High School during COVID-19 circumstances. We focused on outreach activities and provided online information that participants accessed using their tablets. Our online education and outreach activities are associated with three SSH schools of Shizuoka in collaboration with the Drilling Vessel "Chikyu" which are currently conducting operations in an accretionary prism in the Nankai Trough. We addressed the state of operations aboard the ship, which hosts international participants, in January, 2019. During a voyage on the American scientific drilling vessel "Joides Resolution" on Exp. 378 in the South Pacific Ocean in January 2020. Using a narrow internet network connection, students and teachers at Meijyo University Senior High School received online instruction and vivid real-time access to a drilling field. We would like to thank all the participants, supporting schools, and onboard researchers.
