Surrounded by the Sea of Japan,
Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk, Hokkaido is blessed by ideal conditions
for making it a leading fishery center of the world and plays an important
role as a marine products supply base for Japan.
However, because of a recent trend of decreasing resources,
the Hokkaido Bureau is promoting development of fish reef resources along
a 200 nautical mile zone for Alaska Pollack and soy rockfish and the development
of reefs for laying spear squid and male octopus eggs.
Along the 3,000km Hokkaido seacoast (excluding the Northern
Territories) there are about 285 fishing ports backed by fishing villages.
These ports and fishing villages play an important role in providing processing
and physical distribution of marine products, living and work space for
people involved in the fishing industry as well as providing a recreation
spot for the entire nation
For these reasons, in response to internal and external changes
involving the fishing industry, the Hokkaido Bureau is promoting the development
of fisheries and a stable supply of marine products by developing fishing
ports, fishing villages and the fishing industry as a whole to improve the
living and working environment of fishing villages.
Representative projects are the following:
 |
Marine Product Supply Infrastructure Development
Project
Infrastructure for producing marine products such as overall improvement
of breakwater and pier facilities basic to fishery industry output
is being advanced.
Among these, to respond to the future trend fishery production, wide-scale
development projects for specified fishery ports and fishery grounds. |

| Quays for protection
from wind and snow |
|

Marine Resources Cyclic Development Project
To recover the declining utility of fishery productivity and improve
the marine resource environment, this project is aimed at the preservation
and creation of fishing ground environment. |
|
 |
| Fish reefs for collecting
fish |

Fishing Village Comprehensive Development
Project
The Fishery Colony Environment Project for the Development of Road
and Draining was initiated to enrich the living environment of fishing
villages and to promote their revitalization, and the Fishing Port
Environment Development Project to create a comfortable and pleasant
fishing port environment through the planting of trees and improvement
of rest places. |
