A marine conservation policy lab that explores a sustainable relationship between people and the ocean.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring a sustainable relationship between people and the ocean
The Makino Lab studies approaches that reconcile the use and conservation of the ocean.
Rather than looking at marine ecosystems and human society separately, the lab focuses on how the two interact.
Crossing the boundary between science and society, the lab works with international organizations, governments, industry, and civil society to co-create knowledge.
The lab extends what it learns in Japan to the Asia-Pacific and the world, and considers sustainable relationships between people and the ocean globally.
