日本的國立研究開發法人海洋研究開發機構(Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology,JAMSTEC),最近迎來了一年一度的一般民眾開放日(今年2016年是10月22日)。滔滔神秘特派員平常辛苦工作之餘,在周末來到了JAMSTEC的橫濱研究所拜訪臥底特派員,並進行周末的學習 (玩耍)。

附記: John Kerry的開場致詞有一段話很令人動容,也值得深思: The bottom line is that none of what we are working toward, as I said earlier, is beyond our capacity. This is not a question of what do we do, this is a question of the willpower to do what we know we can do. And if we make the right choices, if we set the right priorities, if we respond to the same understanding that saving our ocean isn’t just an option or a priority, it’s an absolute necessity, we will get there. We have to think big and we have to think small at the same time. 底線是,我們正在努力達成之事,是在我們的能力範圍內的。這並不是一個「我們能做什麼」的問題,而是「我們有多大的意志,去達成我們能做到的?」。如果我們能做正確的決定,如果我們能建立正確的先後次序,如果我們能回應眾人的共識:「拯救海洋,並不只是一道選擇題或價值排序,而是必要之事」,那麼,我們就能成功。我們必須要有遠大的理想,但是同時,我們也必須要一步一腳印。
