近年の地震・津波災害に見る漁業地域の役割と防災上の課題

抄録

In recent years, some fishery areas have frequently suffered major damages due to earthquake tsunamis. The purpose of this study is to identify the problems and to propose countermeasures against these disasters in fishery areas. We examined some cases with earthquake tsunami damages, and analyzed the results. The result has shown the importance of three main actions to take measures against these disasters. The first is to secure safety of local population, workers, and visitors. The second is to improve the disaster prevention level of fishing ports and fishing villages. The third is to secure marine products distribution function in time of disaster.
