Abstract
The Nihonkai-Chubu Earthquake Tsunami in 1993 brought severe damages to the coastal regions of the Tohoku district facing the Japan Sea. In particular, it resulted in extensive damages in fishing ports and villages. In this paper, according to the results of the field survey, safety measures for fishing boats and plans for the safety allocation of fishing port facilities and shelters are considered. The measures are based on selected findings related to hydraulic phenomena at fishing port anchorage and damages inflicted by the tsunamis on fishing boats. Practical tsunami countermeasures in fishing port facilities and shore protection ones are proposed.
