Yokosuka Headquarters () Outline of Yokosuka Headquarters' Activities In fiscal , to celebrate the th anniversary of JAMSTEC, in September Yokosuka Headquarters invited the directors of the world's major ocean research institutions to take part in an international symposium and a roundtable conference on ocean research in the st century. The symposium and conference were originally planned for the preceding year, but because of the terrorist attacks in the U.S., they were postponed. The roundtable conference adopted the Yokosuka Statement, which indicates the direction of ocean research in the future. In October JAMSTEC established the Center for Deep Earth Exploration to operate and manage the deep-sea drilling vessel CHIKYU, the primary drilling vessel in the Japan-U.S.-led Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). () Land and Building (a) Land In April , the central Government invested in kind, in JAMSTEC, a piece of nationally owned land of ,.m in Yokosuka city, Kanagawa Prefecture. An ,.m portion of the reclamation work, which had been under way on the seaside of the JAMSTEC site since fiscal , was completed in fiscal . In fiscal , JAMSTEC purchased a piece of land: .m , from the central Government, and in May , the second-stage reclamation work of ,.m was completed. Because the level of the reclaimed land, and that of the existing ground, differed, the level of the existing site was raised, during a period from fiscal to fiscal . During a period from fiscal to fiscal , environmental conservation measures were taken. In fiscal JAMSTEC purchased a ,.m plot of land, and in fiscal purchased an adjacent plot of ,.m to bring the total land area of Yokosuka Headquarters to ,.m . (b) Building As may be noted from Table , buildings have been added since , one after another. In fiscal , there were research buildings of various purposes, with a total floor area of ,.m . In fiscal JAMSTEC purchased the Marine Ecosystems Research Building (old Information and Power Source Building) from Fuyo General Lease Co., Ltd.

Mutsu Institute for Oceanography () Outline of Activities of the Mutsu Institute for Oceanography (a) Outline of the Mutsu Institute for Oceanography JAMSTEC established the Mutsu Office, its first local office, in October in Sekinehama of Mutsu City, Aomori Prefecture, on a site facing the sea of the Tsugaru Strait. This is because the "MIRAI", an ocean and earth research vessel, would continue using Sekinehama Port, the home port of the Mutsu, a nuclear-powered vessel. The local office supported the research activities of the "MIRAI". Notably, the local office was engaged in operation management of the "MIRAI", analysis of samples collected by the "MIRAI", and interpretation of the analytical results. Based on the performance and expectation of roles to be played in clarifying the global environmental change, the Mutsu Office was restructured in October 10
