FCAs regulate fishing efforts and zones. FCAs decrease boats by their own compensation. Fishers may play an umbrella species (we monitor fishers to evaluate health of ecosystem) Sustainable fisheries based on healthy ecosystem Government has to monitor non-target species and global environment Consensus should be build among not only fishers but also processors, consumers, and environ-mental NGOs. Scientists consult and support these consensus. 2 FCA = Fisheries Cooperative Association http://risk.kan.ynu.ac.jp/matsuda/2008/081107.pdf My activity as a Pew Fellow (http://risk.kan.ynu.ac.jp/matsuda/2007/PewFellowship07.html for detail) • Nov. 4: I joined 1st Meeting of Committee for Integrated Assessment of Biodiversity for preparation of CoP10 CBD 2010). • Oct. 20-24: I organized session 7 of 5th World Fisheries Congress • Oct. 22.

Esp. after the amendment in 1910, exclusive real rights. • The concentration of the fishing rights to a few big right holders. 9 http://risk.kan.ynu.ac.jp/matsuda/2008/081107.pdf Fishery Reform after the WWII (1945-1949) • Under the Allied Occupation, sweeping changes in national institutional framework (e.g., current constitution). • Allied Power requested democratization of the fishery, and the current fishery law was enacted in 1949. • To cope with domestic food shortages, and to improve the economic status of the fishermen who actually engaged in fishery operations. 10 http://risk.kan.ynu.ac.jp/matsuda/2008/081107.pdf The Current Fishery Law (1949-) • The fundamental concept (Section 1 of the law) was “the holistic utilization of sea areas”. • To arrange and coordinate various fishing operations within a certain area from an overall point of view, not from the viewpoint of each economic unit. • Various levels and scales of coordinating organization have been instituted. • Fishing rights are not exclusive real rights, but limited real rights (subject to limitations set out by coordinating organizations). 11 M. Makino Coordinating Organizations Level Organization Function National Level Fishery Policy Council The advisory body to the government for national level fishery coordination, design of national fishery policy, etc. Coordination of resource use and management of highly migratory species. Also addresses Resource Restoration Plans. Multijuris-dict Wide-Area ional Level Fisheries Coordinating Committees (WFCCs) Prefectural Area Fishery Level Coordinating Committees (AFCCs) Mainly composed of democratically elected fishermen. Coordination through the Fishery Ground Plan, Prefectural Fishery Coordinating Regulations, and Committee Directions. Local Level Local Fisheries Cooperative Associations (local FCAs) Composed of local fishermen. They establish operational regulations (FCA regulations) that stipulate gear restrictions, seasonal/area closures of fishing grounds, etc. More Specialized Purpose Fishery Management Organizations (FMOs) Autonomous body of fishermen. FMO rules are more detailed and more strict than the FCA regulations. 12 tons Fisheries catch statistics in Shiretoko Area Very informative time-series data for monitoring the changes in ecosystem structure/functions 13 Made by Mitsutaku Makino 13 Fishers compile catch and yield from each species (Shiretoko) Mean fish price (=yield/catch) 14 Zoning for gill net fishery and octopus fishery at Shiretoko Gill net fishery zone Gill net until Nov. 5 Octupus from Nov. 7 Gill net & Octopus 3 mile 2 mile octopus 1 mile Ishiguro Rausu Riv.
