Ship & Ocean Newsletter Selected Papers No. 12 Selected Papers No.12 January 2010 D irector's Message As mankind moves into the 21st century, integrated policies of ocean governance are necessary for the sustainable development and use of our oceans and their resources and the protection of the marine environment. Towards this end, the Ocean Policy Research Foundation (formerly: Ship & Ocean Foundation) has started an "Ocean Policy Research", with the mission statement "Liv- ing in Harmony with the Oceans". The Ocean Policy Research Foundation aims to conduct cross-sectoral research in ocean related issues in order to initiate debate on marine topics and formulate both domestic and international policy proposals. We publish a Japanese-language newsletter called the "Ship & Ocean Newsletter" twice a month. The "Ship & Ocean Newsletter" seeks to provide people of diverse viewpoints and backgrounds with a forum for discussion and to contribute to the for- mulation of maritime policies to achieve coexistence between mankind and the ocean. Our Foundation believes that the Newsletter can expand effective communication on these issues through its function as editor, publishing timely research and welcoming responses from readers, which might then be published in turn. "Ship & Ocean Newsletter Selected Papers No.12" contains English-language versions of papers from the Japanese Newsletter edition, published from No.191(2008.7.20) to No.210(2009.5.5). It is our sincere hope that these Selected Papers will provide useful insights on policy debate in Japan and help to foster global policy dialogue on various issues.

Ship & Ocean Newsletter Selected Papers/No.12 ●3 The Future of the Short-Tailed Albatross, the Largest Seabird in the Northern Pacific — A Road to Coexistence Through Revival Operations— [KEYWORDS] Seabird / Migratory bird survey / Protection activity Fumio Sato Researcher, Yamashina Institute for Ornithology (Ship & Ocean Newsletter No.195 September 20, 2008) Though once declared extinct, the short-tailed albatross survived in a colony on Torishima Island and is now making a comeback. Decoys and audio recordings have been used to lure albatrosses to new breeding grounds, and an operation is ongoing whereby chicks from Torishima are transported to Ogasawara and hand-reared until becoming independent. The creation of stable breeding grounds on non-volcanic islands is creating a bright future for the short-tailed albatross. It has also lately been discovered that the waters off Choshi are important feeding areas for chick-rearing adults. Discovery and extinction The short-tailed albatross has a wingspan of just over 2.4m in flight. When flying over the sea, it does not flap its wings but makes great soaring movements up and down and from side to side, presenting a beautifully dynamic sight. This beautiful large seabird once had extensive breed- ing grounds along the Kuroshio Current that flows along- side the Japanese archipelago, from the Ogasawara Islands, Izu Torishima and islands near Okinawa to the Penghu Islands of Taiwan. In those days, the numbers are estimated to have been in the millions. As soon as their presence was discovered in around the 1890's, however, people started hunting them for their feathers, which were exported to the west. As a result, the majority of short-tailed albatrosses living on Torishima were culled in less than 10 years. Most albatrosses also disappeared from other breeding grounds by the mid-1920s. In other words, no sooner had the short-tailed albatross The short-tailed albatross is a Special Natural Monument of Japan, designated as a Grade made its appearance in modern history than it was virtually II endangered species ("Vulnerable") in the Ministry of the Environment's Red Data Book. wiped out by human activity.

  • A Paradigm Shift in Russo-Japanese Relations
    A Paradigm Shift in Russo-Japanese Relations TSUNEO AKAHA ussia and Japan are in a position to contribute, individually or jointly, to the R establishment of a post–cold war world or regional order. The two countries’ national identities as great powers compel them to play global and regional roles commensurate with their enormous power, both potential and real. Their failure to do so will be a major source of frustration to them and an important factor in instability in the post–cold war world. Further, as geographical neighbors of glob- al importance, each country is in a position to facilitate or frustrate the other’s global aspirations and regional interests. For example, Russia could support or veto Japan’s effort to obtain the coveted permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, and Japan could facilitate or frustrate Russia’s bid to become a full-fledged member of the Group of Seven (making it a Group of Eight). Tokyo could endorse or deflect Moscow’s efforts to join the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum or the World Trade Organization (WTO), and Moscow could respond favorably or negatively to Tokyo’s call to limit the pro- liferation of arms in East Asia. Against the background of their expanding ties with the United States and China, Russian and Japanese leaders have acknowledged the need to put an end to the “abnormal” state of their bilateral relations. There are clear signs that the leaders in Moscow and Tokyo have accepted a new premise upon which to build relations between the two countries.

  • The Southern Kuriles and the Russian-Japanese Relationship
    ISSN: 1500-0713 ______________________________________________________________ Article Title: Line in the Water: The Southern Kuriles and the Russian-Japanese Relationship Author(s): Thomas E. Rotnem Source: Japanese Studies Review, Vol. XI (2007), pp. 73-97 Stable URL: https://asian.fiu.edu/projects-and-grants/japan- studies-review/journal-archive/volume-xi-2007/rotnem.pdf LINE IN THE WATER: THE SOUTHERN KURILES AND THE RUSSIAN-JAPANESE RELATIONSHIP Thomas E. Rotnem Southern Polytechnic State University Throughout history, the global state system has known no dearth of territorial conflicts. Indeed, disputes over territory have produced horrendous wars with untold millions of casualties. Short of resorting to warfare, such conflicts have also been the most intractable to resolve. To be sure, among the hundreds of major and less significant territorial disputes present in the world today, Ethiopia and Somalia are engaged in a bloody conflict that is at least partly inflamed by a decades- long territorial disagreement that has its origins in the Western colonization of the Horn of Africa. Similarly, the possibility of a sustainable peace in southeastern Europe depends in no small measure upon which entity will eventually control the long-disputed province of Kosovo, the Serbian government in Belgrade or the Kosovo Albanian authority itself. Certainly one of the longest-simmering territorial disagreements extant today concerns Japan and the Russian Federation, two powerful countries vying for control of the southern Kurile island chain, known by the Japanese as their “Northern Territories.” The origins of the sixty-two year conflict lie in the waning days of World War II, as Stalin’s armies belatedly joined the war against Japan in the Pacific, capturing much of the Korean peninsula, the southern half of Sakhalin Island, and the southern Kurile islands of Etorufu, Kunashir, Shikotan, as well as the Habomai islets, located mere miles from Japan’s main northern island, Hokkaido.
