Description:
The Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department of Japan actively participates in The Volcanic Eruption Prediction Plan since the Plan started in 1973. Observation of volcanic activities in the adjacent seas of Japan is very important, not only to protect safety navigation, fishery and other activities in the sea area against a disaster, but also to manage the sea area itself effectively. This list is a 3rd edition which revised by Otani, Tsuchide, Shibata, Kato and Iwabuchi 3 times in "The List of Volcanoes and Their Activities Records in the Adjacent Seas of Japan" prepared by Iwabuchi(1989). Intensive volcanic eruptions occurred in the sea area at Miyake Shima volcano, Izu Islands from 2000 to present, at Tori shima volcano, Izu Islands in 2002 and at Usu volcano, Hokkaido in 2000. During the past five years, a lot of fundamental data on geology and geophysics were collected from the surveys on Myojin Sho, Ao-ga-Shima, Fukutoku-Oka-no-Ba, Minami-Hiyoshi Seamount and Kita-Fukutoku Tai in the Nanpo Shoto arc and Others.
