From Marie, Team 7:
(Marie was sponsored by her shipping company, NYK, to join the expedition in Monterey)

"I have finished my presentation on our expedition at the end of January, and have one more within this month. Fortunately, I had a great opportunity to speak to a big audience, more than two hundred staff members, and even better, most of them were top management from NYK Group companies.

I explained that Monterey is the place where human and wild animals live really closely and coexist peacefully. This situation reminds me of the importance to take action for preserving the surrounding environment. I also asked the audience to pay more attention to the problem regarding striking whales and merchant ships in North America."
