Japan is one of the world's largest fish-eating countries with a
long history, and has developed its own customs and values in terms
of managing fisheries resources. The first half of this book
introduces the history and institutional features of capture
fisheries management in Japan, with 9 case studies from sub-arctic
to tropical ecosystems, from sedentary to migratory species, and
from small-scale coastal to offshore industrial fisheries. For
example, coastal fisheries management is more community-based, and
local people have the authority and take priority in the
decision-making process. In contrast, offshore fisheries are more
industrialized and commercially oriented, and the national
government plays a major role in their management. One of the main
challenges in world fisheries is to implement the ecosystem
approach, but there is no one-size-fits-all solution for its
implementation. The second half of this book considers the
advantages and limitations of the Japanese fisheries management
regime and discusses the necessary environmental policy measures to
bridge the gaps between fisheries management and ecosystem-based
management. As a case study, management measures in the Shiretoko
World Natural Heritage area are analyzed. In closing, the Grand
Plan of Japanese fisheries policy for the next 20 years and three
future scenarios are presented.
