From the whale town Shimonoseki, we conduct research on the whaling industry, whale culture, fishery history, etc. through primary materials and interviews with related parties, and how to link whales to Shimonoseki's regional development. The research theme is whether it can be done. In addition, we are currently working on industry-academia demonstration projects that make effective use of unused parts of whales (residues) and lead to new commercialization. In addition, we are engaged in project activities to spread whale food to younger generations and activities to spread the history and culture of whaling. In the future, we plan to conduct research on the history of fisheries in Shimonoseki after the war, using historical materials held by the university.

Regardless of marine products such as whales, regional promotion measures utilizing local resources are divided into groups such as policy proposals, business proposals, product development, etc., and the goal is to finalize them as proposals over one year. . Fieldwork surveys and other activities are important.
