Fisheries Management in Japan

The book explores Japan's unique approach to fisheries management, highlighting its historical context and institutional frameworks. It presents nine diverse case studies that range from coastal to offshore fisheries, showcasing the contrast between community-based management in local fisheries and the industrialized, government-led approach in offshore sectors. The text emphasizes the challenges of implementing an ecosystem approach in fisheries management, underscoring the need for tailored solutions rather than a universal strategy.
