The Sanriku Geopark covers the area from Aomori Prefecture through the coast of Iwate Prefecture and down to Miyagi Prefecture. Hachinohe City Marine Science Museum is located on the northern edge of that and to that belongs to the Mariento Chikyu Tanken club. We learned about Sanriku Geopark from 2019. And we announced this activity at the jpGU2019 and the Japanese Geoparks Network Meeting at Ohoita and jpGU2020.

SDO (Sustainable Development Objectives), a set of targets adopted by the United Nations in September 2015. Now, we must strive to achieve SDGs with society as a whole for the future of humanity. Geopark activity is very compatible with the SDGs. We felt that Sanriku Geoparks efforts toward SDGs were few. And so we examined the relationship between each geosite and the SDGs with GEO-KAMISHIBAI. GEO-KAMISHIBAI helps us understand the history of the land and people's lives.

The Geosite of Taneichi seaside park contains the sea urchin spread trench. The sea urchins grown in the trenches of the Hirono town are the best in Honshu in terms of quality and production.

We investigated the reason and found the following: Nanbu-Moguri is diving to a depth of 20 meters, taking the sea urchin and moving it to the trenches. Fresh seawater is constantly circulating in the trenches that that extend off the coast. The trenches are full of tides, so it is rich in seaweed. Working in shallow grooves is safer than diving off the coast.

The secret to the success was the co-operation between Nanbu-Moguri, the Taneichi Formation, and its trenches.

We made 3GEO-KAMISHIBAI. The titles are as follows: What does a sea urchin eating? The secret of the algae growing in the trench. The Taneichi Formation and sea urchin spread trench.

These are all related to 3Goal of SDGs; Goal 2: Zero hunger. Goal 12: Responsible consumption and production. Goal 14: Life below water.
Unfortunately, we can't exhibit GEO-KAMISHIBAI because of an Corona-Virus (COVID-19) problem. We understood the relationship between sea urchin, geocite and SDGs in Hirono town by conducting a survey and the making of GEO-KAMISHIBAI. We would like to publicize what we have learned using GEO-KAMISHIBAI.
