Japanese Commons in the Coastal Seas: How the Satoumi by Tetsuo Yanagi

By Tetsuo Yanagi

The writer proposed the satoumi suggestion, analogous to the satoyama thought on land, as “coastal sea with excessive biodiversity and productiveness in concord with human interplay” in 1998. the idea that for environmental conservation within the coastal seas has been largely approved and used to be integrated within the eastern nationwide coverage of “Strategy for institution of an Environmental state” in 2007. This publication is a translation of the author’s jap e-book (2010) based on issues and questions about satoumi, together with: Does biodiversity bring up due to human interplay in coastal seas? Do the economics of fishing villages must be thought of intimately? What criminal help is important for the production of satoumi? Is there a relation among the strategies of God and Nature in satoumi? what's the courting among fishermen and town dwellers? bankruptcy 1 offers the elemental notion of satoumi. In bankruptcy 2 the relation among biodiversity and human interplay, fiscal difficulties relating to satoumi, felony help for satoumi production, satoumifrom the perspective of panorama ecology, and the relation among society and technology with reference to the satoumi flow are mentioned. In bankruptcy three examples of satoumi production in Japan are provided, and in bankruptcy four the out of the country dissemination of the satoumi suggestion is brought, with bankruptcy five delivering the belief. bankruptcy 1 offers the fundamental suggestion of satoumi. In bankruptcy 2 the relation among biodiversity and human interplay, financial difficulties with regards to satoumi, criminal help for satoumi construction, satoumifrom the perspective of panorama ecology, and the relation among society and technological know-how in regards to the satoumi move are mentioned.

Moreover, interaction to stop the progression to climax stage in the seagrass beds increases biodiversity in the coastal sea and is similar to human interaction to nature at Satoyama. At the eelgrass beds in western Japan, about 50 years ago people commonly cut some of the eelgrass beds to use for fertilizer on field crops on land, and such action results in the gathering of small fish at the gaps in the eelgrass beds. 8 Satoumi Concept as Natural Science 33 Fig. 9 Observation area. B1 and B2 refer to sampling stations chemical fertilizers, and biodiversity in the eelgrass beds thus decreased from the loss of habitat provided by the gaps in the beds (Tanimoto, 2010).

8). Eelgrass can expand its growing area by seeding and by spreading roots (rhizomes). Eelgrass seed drops on the seabed in June, germinates from November to January, and grows until July. Eelgrass ceases growth in summer and becomes a drifting grass, but it grows again in autumn (Fig. 9). 48 3 Examples of Satoumi Creation Fig. 6 Seaweed (gray) and oyster (black) culture grounds and observation station for water transparency (Sta. 22) near the Hinase Fishermen Union office Fig. 7 Decrease of eelgrass beds in Hinase fishery ground (from the Okayama Fishery Experimental Station) Rehabilitation of a eelgrass bed is possible by two means, that is, by sowing seeds or transplanting roots.

A manual of eelgrass bed rehabilitation was produced based on their experience. 52 3 Examples of Satoumi Creation Fig. 2 Collection of Seabed Debris The fishermen using small trawling nets suffer from massive marine debris on the seabed, which enters the trawling nets. 4 km2 from 1982 to 1984 using 253 fishing boats and 413 fishermen (Fig. 14). The collected marine debris was processed in the debris process factory belonging to the town hall. The total cost was 9,790,000 Japanese yen. After that time, cleaning up of the seabed was continued voluntarily by fishermen.
