1 A reconsideration of horseshoe crab conservation methodology in Japan over the last 100 years and prospects for a marine protected area network in Asian seas Satoquo SEINO (Graduate School of Engineering, Kyushu University, Japan)
2 The history of horseshoe crab conservation in Japan began with the country s modernization over the last century. The many lessons learned and some good practices can help reduce losses and promote precautionary approaches for its conservation. (Pic by H.Nishii)
3 After World War II, coastal and watershed development posed serious threats to every aspect of horseshoe crab life history and habitat. lost existed (Pic by H.Nishii) Local populations decreased or disappeared
4 Oyehama beach (National Natural Monument) Kasaoka (reclamed) Kasaoka Bay K o n o s h i m a c h Konoshima Isl. Large scale reclamation in 1970s in Kasaoka
5 Various measures were undertaken, such as larvae release, small-scale beach nourishment etc.
6 These experiences informed Japanese conservation managers that continuity of habitat, a well-managed ecosystem and maintenance of water and materials cycles are essential.
7 Spawning ground conservation and restoration based on coastal dynamics Natural sandy bar at the river mouth Restored spawning ground by Beach nourishment
8 Coastal zone management
9 Sand dredge of sandy beach (horseshoe crab habitat) Spawning site Habitat of the adult HSC

11 Destruction of geomorphological continuity of costal zone 2004
12 Recent Changes in Distribution of horseshoe crab habitat in Japan
13 Public awareness Citizen participation Environmental education Fieldwork
14 Multi-sectoral activities Local knowledge Small scale experiments for sandy beach management with traditional way by community people
15 TOWARD COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT Nakatsu Tidal Flat one of the most well-protected coasts in Japan xc
16 Nakatsu Tidal Flat Coastal fishing (bivalves, shrimps and crabs) Ecosystem conservation (habitat of endangered species) * Reclamation and dredging for port facilities * Recreation and education 10 km 1,347 ha Max tidal range 4 m
17 Habitats of 183 species including 68 species in the red data book The horseshoe crab Tachypleus tridentatus The finless porpoise Neophocaena hocaenoidees + Fishery ground <BIODIVERSITY>
18 Agenda of citizens participating in TALKFEST on tidal flat utilization and conservation Members: residents, naturalists, environmental educators, local and municipal government administrators, fishermen, citizens, assemblymen, community association engineers of national institutions, university scientists
19 Oshinden Beach and Nakatsu Port
20 Maite River mouth (Oshinden, Nakatsu) Rounded sand bars and sandy beaches are the spawning grounds of the horseshoe crab These interface zones have been protected by concrete constructions for disaster management
21 Diversity of the environment of the river mouth and habitats of animals and plants The dynamics of water and sand sustain this environment. Conservation of this dynamism is essential.
22 Local inhabitants bought in old photographs of memories to the talkfest on coastal planning Sato-umi Seaweed drying operation A child on a school excursion Launching ceremony for fishing boats
23 Comparison of nature and human relations through aerial photographs and discussions with residents
24 Classification of coastal zone of Nakatsu tidal flat (typical: seashore, port and harbor, river, protective forest, park, farming land and residential ) Seto Inland Sea Shore protection Nakatsu tidal flat River Forest Park Nakatsu Port Reclaimed farming land Fishing port Mouth of the Maite River Oshinden Maite River
25 RESPECT-- the agenda of TALKFEST in the community the natural geomorphology of the sandy beach and river mouth leads to a change in methodology of shore protection
26 SETBACK revetment on the river mouth flowing into the tidal flat
27 SETBACK methodology protected natural river mouth sea dike Oshinden Beach Maite River Oshinden Beach Maite River

33 The history of MPAs in Japan can be said to have started in the modern era. During the large-scale developments were carried out around the country during the Taisho period ( ), and movements sprang up to conserve historical buildings, places of natural beauty, and flora and fauna. Internationally, similar problems had already arisen in the West, and in Japan, domestic legal systems were drafted that referred to measures being taken overseas while adapting them to native Japanese values and existing systems.
34 Conservation methodologies Recognition and methodologies for horseshoe crabs evolved variously depending on specialists disciplines. Designation of its spawning grounds as a Natural Monument arose from simple respect and the encouragement of the local community, giving it symbolic species status. (After Nishii)
35 Wetland conservation policy In 1980 Japan became a contracting party to the Ramsar Convention, which aims to protect wetland environments. Japan has designated brackish lagoons, tidal flats and other coastal wetlands to the Ramsar list of wetlands of international importance.
36 COP10 to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD/COP10) was held in Aichi, Japan in It was a good trigger to promote both domestic and international conservation policies. COP11 in 2012 INDIA!!
37 An Aichi Target was adopted, aiming at designation of 10% of the sea as MPAs by This international meeting on horseshoe crab habitat conservation is a good opportunity to bring together one part of the MPA network in Asia!
38 Toward International MPA Network to share lessons and practice From the 1990s, the development of biodiversity policies has helped integrate biological measures and habitat issues. Especially, issues of marine protected areas (MPAs) are parallel to habitat conservation problems in Japan. A target for an international network of MPAs by 2012 was formulated at the World Summit for Sustainable Development.
