UMIGYO Manga

The Fisheries Agency is promoting the nationwide implementation of "UMIGYO" by leveraging regional resources associated with the sea, fishing villages, and fishing ports.
To raise awareness of "UMIGYO" among stakeholders in fishing communities, including fishers, and to promote understanding of this initiative among the general public and consumers, we have produced a manga.
