Abstract
The aim of this study was to contemplate the guidelines for environmental remediation based on creating artificial tidal flat in inner part of Osaka Bay. Hence, we investigated tidal flat constructed on November at 2005, in Omaehama, over a period of one year. Four months after creating artificial tidal flat, shift in abundance of macrobenthic communities was observed. Population of Ruditapes philippinarum, was higher than that of R. philippinarum in control area. Nevertheless, the number of species and individuals of macrobenthos decreased greatly in summer due to impact of seasonal hypoxia water. Results based on the macrobenthos pattern and shift in their relative abundance imply that remedial measures in Omaehama. Yet, available data suggest is important to enlarge shallow area of the tidal flat and thereby secure more aerated habitat for benthic species. Citizen participation in some phases of this project pointed out that is easy for them to understand meaning and importance of environmental monitoring.
