Definitely treasury of the sea
Shimane fisheries research vessel Shimane-maru
South Koreans engaged in catching fish
The Shimane Prefecture fisheries research vessel Shimane-maru (63t) visited Takeshima, treasury on the Sea of Japan, as a first Japanese vessel since the W.W.II where it is following the delicate history between Japan and South Korea over its attribution, then it revealed the situation of the island. The Shimane-maru, which departed from Hamada Port at 9 a.m. on the 27th and went north for 130 nautical miles along 132°E for ocean state survey of the Tsushima Warm Current which has been being studied as the joint survey of each research institute in the Japan sea's region, has unexpectedly catched Takeshima in dispute. The Shimane-maru, having brought information of current situation of Takeshima, the remote island of Goka Village of Oki Island, known as treasury of the Sea of Japan and the habitat of sea lions before the W.W.II, went back to the Port on 29th morning after finishing the ocean state survey of the Tsushima Warm Current mentioned above.
