Seaweed Cultivation for Ocean Restoration Initiative

連結日本各地里山保全活動的網路組織。整合農業、林業、狩獵的傳統智慧與現代保全生態學，致力復興里山的生物多樣性。透過地域社區與非營利組織的協力，同步推進休耕地的再生與稀有物種的保護。

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.

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。

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.

在瀨戶內海漁村推動的海洋修復事業，透過海藻養殖實現。大規模培養具高碳吸收能力的海藻，同步對抗海洋酸化並恢復漁業資源。由在地漁民與創業企業的合作，成為循環經濟的實踐典範，同時創造永續生計。

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。

A large-scale kelp afforestation project addressing coastal seabed desertification in Tottori Prefecture. It restores marine ecosystems damaged by overharvesting of sea urchins through kelp cultivation, while achieving carbon sequestration and blue carbon effects. Implemented collaboratively with local fishers, it demonstrates sustainable marine resource management. A pioneering model integrating marine biodiversity restoration with climate action.
