WAKAMATSU Coast Guard Office established floats made of plastic bottles as substitute survival kits on eight places within the jurisdiction such as lighthouses on capes. It is nicknamed “UKUCCHA Bottle” and shall be used in case where fishermen fall into the sea by accident.      “UKUCCHA Bottle” is established at piers and breakwater lights on rocky shores such as the pier at the entrance of DOKAIWAN, WAITA fishing port, KASHIWABARA fishing port and MYOKENSAKI where many fishermen visit. It is made by hands of the WAKAMATSU Coast Guard Office’s staffs with ingenious ideas so that discoverers can detach it from the door of a lighthouse easily and throw it to the person drowning for the safe rescue in case that a fisherman falls into the sea.      The purpose of this activity is also to spread the idea of using accessible materials such as plastic bottles effectively for lifesaving to the citizens. It is expected that this activity will spread to the companies administrating facilities at piers, coasts and rivers as well as to the local people and survival kits or substitute survival kits will be established at many places where there is a possibility of accidents and support lifesavings. The detail of this matter including how to make is also introduced on the website of our department “Dokai Hibiki Net (http://www.kaiho.mlit.go.jp/07kanku/wakamatsu/)”.      However, “UKUCCHA Bottle” could be used only for emergency therefore the most important point for a self-lifesaving is to follow three basics; 1) wear a lifejacket, 2) keep communication tools such as mobile phones and 3) call “118” for the maritime urgent message.
