In order to establish a methodological framework and develop specific procedures for a modern comprehensive biological and ecological survey of the Lake Biwa coastline by local residents, three research groups were established within the project team: "Distribution and Ecology of Living Creatures", "Ecosystem Diversity", and "Ways to Conduct and Cooperate with Citizen-based Surveys". Relevant literature was gathered and reviewed and pilot programs were conducted. As a result, problematic issues that may arise before, during, or after resident-based participatory surveys were clarified, and remedies were proposed. Furthermore, in order to advance the study, two public lecture programs were held and some results were used in exhibits at the Lake Biwa Museum.
