This guidebook introduces the magnificent flora and fauna of Nagashima
Island and its vicinity. It is presented with our sincere wish to pass
this biodiversity on to our future generations.
With crystal clear waters over 15 meters deep, and 75% of its natural
shoreline remaining untouched (average rate of untouched natural shoreline
along the Seto Inland Sea is only 21.4%), Nagashima Island (Yamaguchi
Prefecture, Japan) has miraculously escaped from the crisis of rapid
economic development, and much of its eco thrives as it did 50 years
ago.
However, Chugoku Electric Power Company (CEPC) has launched a plan to
build a nuclear power plant, which would require it to reclaim land
from Tanoura Bay, located at the tip of Nagashima Island.
