A diver from the Japan Coast Guard dived into the sea and searched off the coast of Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, in an attempt to find clues to those who are still missing due to the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake.
In Minamisoma City, Fukushima Prefecture, 87 people are still missing, more than 10 years and 8 months after the earthquake.
The search on the 13th was conducted by the Japan Coast Guard at the request of the family.
A diver on a boat, about 500 meters off the coast, offered flowers to the sea, and the families of those who were missing at the seawall on the coast silently prayed.
Then four divers dived into the sea and searched an area of about 1000 square meters for about an hour.
After that, a debriefing session was held at a facility near the coast, and a staff member of the Japan Coast Guard explained, "The seabed was sandy and there was no debris, and no clue was found."
Mr. Chohachi Kanno, who does not know the whereabouts of his mother and son, said, "I feel that the people of the Japan Coast Guard are having a hard time. I will. "
Chief of the Fukushima Coast Guard Security and Rescue Division, Tsukasa Sugaya, said, "I searched for clues at this time when the weather and seawater temperature were relatively good. I want to work closely with them. "
