Since 2013, the research group of Professor Yasuhiro Kato, the University of Tokyo, has conducted research cruises with the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) for investigating REY-rich mud and Manganese nodules within the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) around the Minami-Tori-Shima  Island, the easternmost island in Japan.
As a result of these surveys, they successfully discovered the world's highest grade “extremely REY-rich mud” distributed at a shallow depth of about 3 m below the ocean floor and the vast “manganese nodule fields” on the deep sea floor of the  Minami-Tori-Shima EEZ.
The photographs displayed here show works on the research cruises in the Minami-Tori-Shima EEZ.
