(2)NPO to turn Kochi island into natural museum

KOCHI, Japan - The waters around Kashiwajima Island off the Pacific coast of Kochi Prefecture are home to about 1,000 kinds of fish in one of Japan's largest clusters of stony corals. The tiny island, with a population of about 540, draws about 10,000 divers from across Japan annually. A citizen's group plans to establish a nonprofit organization (NPO) to turn the entire island into a natural museum. Photo was provided by the group led by Masaru Kanda, a part-time teacher specializing in the biology of fish at Kochi University. (Kyodo)
