October 30th, 2013 (Marmaris, Turkey)

Global Congress on Integrated Coastal Management Lessons Learned to Address New Challenges EMECS10-MEDCOAST2013 Joint Conference

Satoumi Spesial Session -

Some characteristics of Satoumi derived from recent international discussion

1. Partial affinity with coastal management frames such as: Integrated Coastal Management（ICM） Community Based Management (CBM) Ecosystem Based Management (EBM) 2. Satoumi as active type of conservation “Passive conservation”: “Do not something” type of conservation, e.g. no take zone, TPLC, landfill control etc. “Active conservation”: “Support something” type of conservation, e.g. Satoumi which aims positive effect of human activities (Berque and Matsuda)

3. Satoumi as bottom-up approach for conservation and sustainable use of marine ecosystem services

Introduction

EMECS---------------------Satoumi

Satoyama + Satoumi → ICM

MEDCOAST---------------ICM

EMECS10-MEDCOAST Joint Conference:

What is the relationship between ICM and Satoumi ?

“Satoumi” as a key concept of coastal management

( first proposal by Prof. Yanagi in 1998 )

• Outlined characteristics of “ Satoumi ”:

“ Satoumi ” is coastal sea under the harmonization of sustainable wise use with conservation of appropriate natural environment and habitat conditions. “ Satoumi ” should provides higher biological diversity as habitat and higher biological production as fishing ground. “ Satoumi ” is also suitable site for demonstrating multi-functional roles of fisheries.

“ Satoyama ”

“ Satoumi ”

Combined restoration of “ Satoyama ” and “ Satoumi ”

is more effective from the view point of material flow

and integrated coastal management (ICM)
