The “Japanese Eel” species is on the verge of extinction. Biologists are studying the ecology of the eels and are desperately trying to promote their cultivation. However, Tokyo Bay remains polluted, and the condition of the rivers is not only a problem for eels, but also requires major changes in environmental measures to protect the ecosystem. To do so will require, above all, the interest of the people.<\/p>\n

This video work was originally created to be shown at the TOKYO INTERNATIONAL CRUISE TERMINAL in Tokyo Bay. This is the gateway for people from overseas to visit from the sea, and people returning to Japan will also see this video here. This is a video work to be exhibited at the gateway to the country, to leave something in people’s hearts as a video work here, to maximize interest in our lives and ecosystems.<\/p>\n

It has been several years since freshwater eels were listed as endangered. This situation was caused by overfishing. There are many cases when living things become extinct due to natural forces beyond human control, but not in the case of freshwater eels. It is possible to protect the sustainability of our food culture and the lives of living things by proper legal development, using technology appropriately, and improving the environment, including the law.<\/span><\/p>\n

Freshwater eels live in areas with high water quality and multiple aquatic organisms. Since Japan is a country prone to natural disasters, the environment for freshwater eels to migrate upstream and live in is being lost due to well weirs and other structures built to prevent river flooding.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thinking about this freshwater eel issue will lead us to care about the issue from several points, such as<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Ecological issues<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 River environment issues<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Water pollution issues<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Issues of food culture and sustainable use of biological resources<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Issues of law improvement against poaching and illicit trade<\/span><\/p>\n

And make it possible for us to think about what we can do to help humanity coexist with living things, and how technology can help.<\/span><\/p>\n
