This issue launches the publication of English language journals of the Japan Society of Erosion Control Engineering, which will be distributed through the internet as e-journals. The society intends to disseminate information on sediment hazards and SABO works, new SABO research and SABO technologies, and exchange SABO information in various places around the world. Thus, in this first issue, I review and introduce sediment hazards and SABO works in Japan.
