Fishers utilize many species, monitor these stocks.
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.

Early Feudal Era (- about 1700)
• Communities, as administrative units,
controlled adjacent coastal areas, and were
responsible for establishing appropriate
rules governing local resource use (i.e.
autonomous management body)
• Offshore areas are basically open access.

Later Feudal Era
(about 1700 – 1868)
• Labor-intensive and capitalized fisheries
developed (beach seine fisheries, large setnet fisheries)→A few fishermen monopolized
coastal fishery.
• At the Offshore area, large-scale fisheries
operators established their own guilds and
made rules, protected by feudal loads.

Modernization Period
(1868-1900)
• 140 years ago, Japan abolished the national
seclusion policy of 200 years, and opened
the country.
• New government carried out dramatic
modernization of institutional framework
• Introduction of top-Down, centralized license
system in 1875, but dissolved into chaos.

Meiji Fishery Law 1901 - 1945
• First law that put fishing rights and licenses
in a statutory form.
• Rights were granted to local fishers’
organizations and individuals.
• The nature of rights was property rights. Esp.
after the amendment in 1910, exclusive real
rights.
• The concentration of the fishing rights to a
few big right holders.

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).

mission 18-22 February 2008
Modified dam on Iwaubetsu River
•The mission team also applauds the bottom up
approach to management through the
involvement of local communities and local
stake-holders, and also the way in which scientific
knowledge has been effectively applied to the
management of the property through the overall
Scientific Committee and the specific Working Groups
that have been set up. These provide an excellent
model for the management of natural World
Heritage sites elsewhere.

Sea lion problems now
• When the Shiretoko became the World Heritage
in 2005, IUCN did not requested cull-ban of sea
lions but conserve their prey.
• Damage on fishers by sea lions is increasing
• Number of by-catch is still unreported.
• Since 1995, cull limit was 116 per year.
• Sea lions is now gradually recovering
• We can eat meat of culled sea lions
• 1 professional hunter has 50 catch quota.

Potential Biological Removal (PBR) for sea lions
(Japan Fisheries Agency, Oct 2007)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
PBR = 0.5 Nmin Rmax Fr
PBR = 0.5 x 5063 x 0.12 x 0.75 = 227
However, the number of by-catches is unknown!
No data show that culling decreases damage
We estimated 107 by-catches (probably overestimation)
#Annual cull limit is (116 to) 120 sea lions.
We encourage compiling by-catch and catch report.
