石狩濱海濱植物保護中心 / Ishikarihama Coastal Plant Conservation Center

石狩濱海濱植物保護中心（位於石狩市）是在海邊附近進行培育珍貴植物的保護活動的設施。夏季時盛開的美麗花朵-藿香玫瑰，昔日曾在石狩濱聚集生長，然而現今數量逐漸減少中。另外作為食用而遭到亂摘採的珊瑚菜，現今已經被禁止摘採了。在保護中心便可以學習到這些珍貴的海濱植物和動物的知識。

Ishikarihama Coastal Plant Conservation Center (Ishikari City) is involved in the conservation of plants which grow on sandy dunes near the sea in salty wind. The number of these coastal plants is decreasing. The Rugosa rose - hamanasu in Japanese - which has beautiful, small, pink flowers in summer is an example. Also, the Glehnia - hamaboufu in Japanese - is an edible plant from the carrot family. The gathering of hamaboufu is now strictly forbidden. Visitors can learn about these important plants as well as animals which live near the sea. About 50 species of plants can be seen in their garden.
