It is feared that seawater temperature rises and other changes in the marine environment due to
climate change will greatly affect the marine ecosystems and fisheries in the sea waters around Japan.
Moreover, possible effects of climate change are being combatted both at home and abroad not only by
“alleviation”, designed to control and otherwise manage greenhouse gas emissions, but also by promoting
“adaptation” to already visible effects and effects expected to be unavoidable on a mid-to-long-term basis.
Against such a backdrop, in 2017 the Fisheries Agency established “Guidelines for Measures to Develop
Fishing Grounds in Response to Climate Change”. This report, based on the above guidelines, summarizes
procedures and other details for preserving and adapting seaweed beds, tidal flats, coral reefs, coasts, and
offshore waters.
