Results and Future PlanLine transect surveys and permanent quadrat surveys were conducted at three sites in May-June 2017. Qualitative data recording mainly conducted by taking photographs were also done. Comparing these data with those in 2016 surveys, It was shown that the coverage of oysters increased at low zone in Konori-hama and mussels gradually increased at middle zone in Takeno-ura. At Tsuka-hama, mussels increased at high zone and algal coverage increased at middle zone. Photograph data are starting to be uploaded to BORAS.
