Mr Okada, Minister of Foreign Affair will visit Hawaii to meet Mrs Clinton on 12th January 2010.

It is reported that Mr Okada, Japan Minister of Foreign Affair will visit Hawaii to meet Mrs Clinton on 12th January 2010.

It seems to me a good coincidence that they will meet at the place where MMC took place, in which American specialist in Marine Mammal come to deeply understand the situation of Dugong in Okinawa. Either US marine airfield or Dugong, relative species of Manatee should extinct from Okinawa.

Riding on the Heiwa Maru (Peace) across the Oura Wan Bay...

Thanks to Takuma san, we went for an hour and half boat ride on the Oura Wan Bay.

The sea was really calm, although it was raining... We enjoyed its clear blue water and colorful fishes!

Then we took a short tour to small island and listened to Takuma san's ohanashi...

"Oura Wan Bay is fan-shaped, and the sea bottom sometimes goes very deep such as at 60m depths. This type of topography is rare for Okinawa Islands, as most of these islands are surrounded by coral reefs...This unique shaped bay holds complex and rich ecosystems...(Marin Life of Oura Wan Bay)"
