The list of volcanoes and their activities records in the adjacent seas of Japan of 2nd edition.
The Hydrographic Department of Japan actively participates in the national program for prediction of volcanic eruption since the program started in 1973. Observation of volcanic activities in the adjacent seas of Japan is very important not only to protect safety navigation, fishery and other activities in the sea area against a disaster, but also to manage the sea area itself effectively. This list is a revised edition of annex 1 in the paper, the program for prediction of volcanic eruption developed by the Hydrographic Department of Japan, prepared by Iwabuchi (1989). Intensive volcanic eruptions happened in the sea area off Ito, Izu Peninsula in 1989 and at Unzen volcano, Simabara Peninsula from 1990 to present. During the past five years, a lot of fundamental data on geology and geophysics was collected from the surveys on Ata Caldera in Kagosima Bay, Myozin Sho submarine volcano, Sitiyo Seamount Chain and others.
