Tottori Kelp Forest Restoration Initiative

A restoration and breeding project for endemic and critically endangered fish species in the Shimanto River, Kochi Prefecture. Centered on dam removal and riparian ecosystem recovery, it involves collaborative efforts among local fishermen, research institutions, and residents. It serves as a reference model for sustainable fisheries and biodiversity conservation integrated programs nationwide.

大規模養殖沿岸海藻（裙帶菜、昆布、馬尾藻），同時實現藍碳吸收與海洋生態系統修復的計畫。北海道至九州的多個漁業協同組合參與其中，開創了兼顧氣候變遷對策與漁業振興的新模式。

鳥取縣推動的沿岸生態系修復計畫，透過海藻增殖實現。戰略性培育裙帶菜、昆布等海藻，一邊防止岩礁荒漠化，一邊同步達成碳吸收與漁業資源恢復。此計畫展現藍碳利用於氣候變遷對策的先進範例。

沿岸域追求人與自然共生的保全活動。如同里山概念，同時致力於生物多樣性與漁業永續性的兼顧。具體工作包括海藻藻場的復育、牡蠣礁的保護等。整合地區經濟與自然保全，維護海洋生態系服務機能為重要課題。

Coastal regions like Tottori Prefecture implement ocean ecosystem restoration through seaweed cultivation. Kelp, wakame, and seagrass cultivation achieve carbon sequestration through blue carbon absorption while restoring marine biodiversity by addressing barren ground issues. Cultivated products' use in food, fertilizer, and bioenergy creates an established sustainable business model integrating fishing operations with environmental restoration.

Large-scale seaweed (kelp and wakame) farming restoring ocean ecosystems while absorbing CO2. Led by Hokkaido and Tohoku regions, gaining international recognition as blue carbon technology. Extracting fertilizer, biomass, and food ingredients from seaweed simultaneously enhances fishing income and restores marine ecosystems. Emerging as innovative model integrating climate change mitigation with regional economic regeneration and sustainable ocean resource management.

A marine ecosystem restoration project through seaweed (wakame and kombu) cultivation along Tottori and Hyogo coastlines. It simultaneously achieves blue carbon absorption and coastal fishery resource recovery, integrating climate action with sustainable fisheries. It gains attention as a model for simultaneously revitalizing coastal communities economically while regenerating the environment.
