The Great East Japan Earthquake devastated nature along the Miyagi Prefecture coastline. Will the rich ecosystems that once existed in the bays and estuaries ever return to their original state?
A volunteer group is working hard to restore the tsunami-ravaged Gamo Tidal Flat, a wetland region which was once home to a treasure trove of precious plants and animals. The children of Ishinomaki city have built hive boxes from the tsunami debris.
These will be set up along the Miyagi coastline by an NPO group to see whether Japanese honey bees are active in the disaster area. While in Watari town, locals have begun their dream of rebuilding the lost tide-control forest in a century-long project.
'Believe in a Brighter Future' focuses on the Miyagi coastline nature through the actions of the people working together to restore it.
