Abstract
“Satoumi” is defined as an enhanced coastal zone in terms of biodiversity and productivity with human interactions. The authors conducted literature surveys, hearings with local people, and organized their governmental work experiences as fisheries, port and harbor, and ocean policy experts. The results were used to reveal a basic framework of fishery rights and management rights of foreshore areas. Hinase, at Bizen city, Okayama prefecture, in Japan is known as the leading “Satoumi” case study site; it was studied from the perspective of its history and progress with insights on the integration of industries and services with fisheries (called the 6th industrialization), eelgrass bed restoration, and establishment of governance. Throughout the study, key issues to implementing “Satoumi” was organized and discussed. Furthermore, a proposal for designing a support mechanism for “Satoumi” implementation regarding global and local contexts was put forward.
