Abstract
AbstractHinase, Okayama Prefecture, is the Satoumi of eelgrass and oysters. In Hinase, which is known as the “sacred ground of eelgrass bed restoration,” fishers have been working for more than 30 years and have succeeded in restoring the eelgrass beds. This has increased the catch of fish associated with eelgrass beds as well as stabilized oyster farming production. In addition, the Hinase Fishery Cooperative has long been involved in collecting debris from the seafloor and direct selling to the public by the women’s group. This chapter also introduces the National Eelgrass Summit held in Hinase in 2016 and the Blue Carbon Movement.KeywordsEelgrass bedOyster farmingSeagrass restorationHinaseBlue carbonSeabed debris
