At 11 March 2011, with the outbreak of "the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake", the giant tsunami attacked the Miyagi coastal areas, caused great loss of human life, and gave serious damage to most of the private institution and the public community facilities. In particular, most of the fishing ports and the fishing villages in these areas had unexpectedly severe damages by tsunami. Now, the state does not yet show a process to all-out revival of the fishing village areas. By the conventional disaster-relief project, it is basic to restore to the original form. However, in this earthquake disaster, it is very difficult to restore all of fishing port facilities, fishery institutions, fishery-processing plants that were had serious damages by tsunami. For the revival of the coastal fishery areas and fishery industries in Miyagi, it is important to review fishing port functions that are necessary for fishery industries from various aspects, to reflect the demand of stakeholder such as anglers, inhabitants, local governments and so on. Moreover, it is very essential to practice deliberately/steadily the restoration of the fishing port facilities and the restructuring of fishing port functions.
