Fisheries representative message
Colleagues who have supported the branding of local food and producers by making use of their respective expertise have gathered as a team. In fact, Japan’s fisheries are facing an unprecedented crisis. Resource depletion due to overfishing, sharp decline in fish catches, and ecosystem changes due to ocean warming. Aging fishermen, shortage of human resources, and business succession issues. The need for industrialization and added value through the use of technology. This is exactly the epitome of social issues.
A yellow light is now on for sustainable fishing. There comes a time when you really can’t eat delicious fish.
However, there should be great potential for Japanese fisheries. A fish-eating culture that the world longs for, created by regional characteristics and diverse fish species. Unparalleled commitment to quality, freshness and deliciousness. A culture of symbiosis that protects and nurtures the local nature and ecosystem. And the splendor of the fishing experience facing nature and the sea. Its potential is endless.
It is the efforts of the fisheries industry to bring out that potential and support the creation of a new future.
