NOWPAP participated in the Toyama International Exchange Festival on 11 November 2012 and set up a booth to introduce NOWPAP and its activities. This annual event attracted several hundred foreigners living in Toyama as well as local people who could learn and experience the different cultures.
Implementation of NOWPAP contributes to the Global Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-based Activities (GPA) in the Northwest Pacific region.
