港湾における沿岸域の環境施策の取り組み

抄録

The historical development of the coastal environment policy is overviewed in the field of Ports and Harbours policy. The first large contributions were set in 1973 along the amendment of Ports and Harbour Law. In 1988, “Sea-Blue” Policy was introduced, initially for the sediment quality improvement by the beneficial use of clean dredged materials. In 1994, “Eco-Port” Policy was enacted as a more comprehensive environmental policy for ports. Under the New Governmental Policy of Prime Minister Koizumi in 2001, “Coastal works harmonizing with nature” and “Water quality improvement inside enclosed waters” are intensively promoted by the partnerships among the sectors.
