本專案研究概要
寶石珊瑚一直以來為高知縣漁業及傳統產業之重要漁業資源。寶石珊瑚生長速度十分緩慢，為維護其生態系統及保持其資源永續利用，須建構適度採捕管理體系，然而高知近海寶石珊瑚資源管理之相關科學數據尚未齊備，因此本研究將以寶石珊瑚永續利用爲目的，展開資源量調查、生態調查及群落結構分析等基礎研究，並透過區域產官學密切配合，以累積之科學數據為依據，建構長期性漁獲管理機制。
學位研究課題（暫定）
寶石珊瑚基礎研究 : 爲妥善管理資源，將對漁場中寶石珊瑚分佈模式、存在量（資源量）、生長速度與壽命等進行生態調查及群落結構分析等
透過海洋核心研究探索海洋環境動態 : 透過活用「遺產核心·學術核心」，研究分析過去數萬年期間影響寶石珊瑚形成之古氣候及地殼變動等
與區域社會共同開發並實踐課題探究型實踐教育計劃 : 以科學數據為依據，與業界相關單位或政府單位進行有關採捕控管規定等討論並提出政策建言（積累科學根據，並將其實際應用於社會）

Research outline
Precious coral is an important fishery resource that supports the fishing industry and traditional industries in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. The growth rate of precious coral is extremely slow, hence appropriate its resource management is necessary to maintain the ecosystem and sustainable utilization of this resource. However, there is still lacking scientific data of precious coral for resource management. In this research project, we conduct basic research on the sustainable use of precious corals including surveys of resource abundance, ecological elucidation, and population structure analysis. In addition, we will work closely with local industry, government, and academia to develop a system for long-term fisheries management based on the scientific data obtained.
Research topics for the Ph.D. research (tentative)
Basic research on precious corals : For appropriate resource management, clarification of distribution patterns, abundance (resource volume), growth rate and lifespan of precious corals in fishing grounds, population structure analysis, etc.
Marine Core Analysis for the dynamics of the marine environment : Elucidation of paleoclimate and crustal movements over the past tens of thousands of years that have influenced the formation of precious coral resources, using "legacy” cores and academic cores.
Development and implementation of practical educational programs that explore issues in cooperation with local communities : Policy proposals based on discussions with industry representatives and government agencies including fishing regulations based on scientific data on precious corals (accumulation of scientific evidence and initiatives for social implementation based on it).
