With the support of government, fishermen and local residents are now actively engaged in efforts to conserve seaweed beds in the coastal areas of Japan. Among such efforts, 184 groups have taken part in the Environment and Ecosystem Protection Project (EEPP) between 2009 and 2012, and 275 groups implemented the Fisheries Multiple function Demonstration Project (FMDP) in 2013. Many groups are working to remove sea urchins from seaweed beds, transplant matured seaweeds that supply spores, plant seaweed seedlings, and clean bedrock. The two main challenges in the coming years are to enhance technical support to groups including the ones mentioned above and to evaluate the effects of the conservation efforts in a quantitative manner.
