Seasonal winds from the continent in winter hit the mountains and accumulate snow, forming rich groundwater and forming the rich Toyama Plain and Toyama Bay. Recognizing the splendor of Toyama Bay, in 2014 we joined the “The Most Beautiful Bays in the World”. We are proud of the charm of Toyama Bay, recognized around the world, and we need to further enhance our brand value so that many tourists can visit. On the other hand, there are many challenges in the sea. One is the departure of Japanese youth from the sea. The number of children playing in the sea is decreasing year by year, and the number of children who are attached to the sea is less than 30%. The next issue is environmental issues. Nearly 600,000 tons of trash flows every year on the Japanese coastline, but the plastic waste that does not rot is getting smaller and eaten by birds and fish, causing serious damage. Changes in fish due to rising seawater temperatures have also had a major impact. In order to pass on the beautiful ocean to the next generation, it is necessary to learn about tourism and educational cases from the world's finest bays, and to solve problems by working together globally on environmental measures. Let me introduce the world's beautiful bays and Toyama Bay. 1 The Most Beautiful Bays in the World (MBBW) 2 １．The Most Beautiful Bays in the World （1）History of establishment In 1996, Michel Met, Hervé Laigo, and Bruno Bodard from the Tourism Bureau of the City of Vannes were recommended by Jean Mancourt for a sister tie between beautiful Morbihan and Ha Long Bays. Because they know there are other beautiful bays, they decided to create an international network, not just an alliance of two bays. Vannes City Tourism Board agreed with this idea, created a list of beautiful bays, issued a letter, and held a preparatory meeting in London in December 1996. On March 10, 1997, the founding general meeting was held in Berlin and established with 28 bays, it was approved as a non- profit organization under French law, the first committee was established, and Michelle Met became the first president. 3 （2）Activity Philosophy Respect the lifestyles and traditions of people living in the area while ensuring both the responsibility to preserve the nature and uniqueness of the bay and economic development ➢ In addition to preserving the natural environment and landscape of the bay, it will contribute to the promotion of tourism and the revitalization of the local economy by utilizing it as a tourism resource. Promote exchange of expertise and experience in bay conservation and tourism promotion with international and Speech at "La chance Restaurant' 2019 in TOYAMA Oui, nous sommes chanceux de vivre face à une baie. Mais nous sommes aussi conscient des devoirs que cela nous impose pour respecter, protéger et valoriser cet environnement unique ou la mer vient se lover dans la terre, lieu de protection, d'échange et de fécondité. C'est pourquoi, je suis fier de l'organisation les plus belles baies du Monde, car notre rôle de sentinelle de la mer et de l'environnement est plus important que jamais. Si notre littoral est atteint et affecté, c'est le monde entier qui le sera. Notre mission est donc de s'entraider pour veiller à ce que cet espace si important aujourd'hui le soit encore dans le futur. Bruno Bodard Co-Fondateur Les plus belles Baies du Monde 4 （3）Admission Criteria To be a bay the bay must ⚫ Open onto a shoreline with the concave nature ⚫ Be the object of protective measures ⚫ Present an interesting flora or fauna ⚫ Present outstanding and attractive natural habitats ⚫ Be nationally recognised ⚫ Be emblematic to the local population ⚫ There should be a potential for economic developments ⚫ The wish to represent the bay and adhere to the values and the actions of the ONG must be clearly shown And each bay must meet two or more of the UNESCO world heritage registration standards. UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List Registration Standard ① Masterpieces created by humans ② Influence on the development of architecture and science ③ Tradition of cultural tradition and civilization ④ Representative historical buildings and landscapes ⑤ Traditional residence, land use form ⑥ Amazing events, traditions, faith UNESCO World Natural Heritage Registration Standard ⑦ Superlative natural phenomenon, natural beauty ⑧ Representative of the stage of Earth history ⑨ Sample evolution and development of animals and plants ⑩ Habitat of a variety of creatures 5 （4）Officer (as of October 2019) President Michel Bujold, Chaleur Bay, Canada Future President Louis Thebault, Mont Saint Michel Bay Past President Maria das Dores Meira Setubal Bay Portugal Europ Vice President David Robo Gulf of Morbian America 〃 Enrique Litman Praia do Rosa.

Headquarters appearance Inside of headquarters Donations from member bays Visit at 2018 （6）Member bay As of 2019, 44 bays from 1 region in 24 countries are participating. There are 8 bays from France, 5 bays in Japan, 3 bays in Morocco and Vietnam, 2 bays in Spain, Portugal, Canada and Brazil, and 1 bay in the other countries. Since there are no members from the US, Russia, Australia, etc., the future global expansion is an issue. We will introduce member bays by region. 7 Europe Gulf of Morbihan-Bay of Quiberon（France）1997 Morbihan Bay, in the city of Vannes, where the Most Beautiful Bays in the World club headquarters is located, is dotted with many islands. At low tide, a wide tidal flat spreads out and hundreds of thousands of migratory birds come in, attracting many tourists. 8 Mont Saint-Michel Bay（France）1997 Mont Saint-Michel Island, which continues to land at low tide due to a tide level difference of more than 10m, is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Ramsar Convention. The magnificent Benedictine Abbey church was built and is famous for its fluffy omelets. Bay of the Somme（France） 1998 The mouth of the Somme River, which has a 72 km coastline facing the English Channel, is composed of sand dunes and wetlands, is a nature reserve that is a member of the Ramsar Convention and is visited by 10 million tourists every year. Bay of La Baule（France） 2012 Thousands of pine trees were planted in the 19th century to stabilize the 9km sandy beach. Famous for its high-quality bathing water, it has four thalassotherapy (sea water spas), a marina with a capacity of 2000 ships and many villas. 9 La Ciotat Bay（France） 2019 La Ciotat Bay, about 30 km east of Marseille, on the east side of Cassis, is said to be the birthplace of the movie and has a magnificent Beck de L'Alegre rock. Girolata & Porto Gulf（France） 1997 Located on the west coast of the Mediterranean island of Corsica, the rock formations and the cobalt blue sea are surprisingly beautiful and registered as a World Natural Heritage site. There are also many native animals

Its fully grown body will attain more than 80 em in mantle length or more than 19 kg in weight and its robust body with the enormously developed fins makes it quite distinct from all other teuthoidean cephalopods; these features seem to deserve well of its being called a noticeable creature in the ocean. This cephalopod is found rather frequently and in a moderate quantity in certain districts of Japan and well known to local fishermen by various Japanese names such as "taru-ika" (barrel squid), "hako-ika" (box squid), "sode-ika" (sleeved squid), "kasa­ ika" (umbrella squid), "aka-ika" (red squid), etc. However, it is apparently very scarce in other parts of the world, being recorded outside the Japanese waters so far only from the Mediterranean (TROSCHEL 1857; JATTA 1896; NAEF 1921-28; etc.), the waters around Madeira (REES & MAUL 1956) and the Cape of Good Hope (BARNARD 1934), and almost nothing is known of its life history including migration, behavior, life span, etc.

  • Start-Up Report
    Contract Report to the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council September 2011 Final Report Assessing the State of Japanese Coastal Fisheries and Sea Turtle Bycatch -Contract No.: 10-turtle-009 Name of Contractor: Sea Turtle Association of Japan Naoki Kamezaki Ph.D., Director Mail Address: Sea Turtle Association of Japan Naoki Kamezaki Nagao-motomachi 5-17-18, Hirakata, Osaka 573-0163 Japan Tel:+81-72-864-0335; fax:+81-72-864-0535 http:://www.umigame.org e-mail: [email protected] 1. Purpose The Sea Turtle Association of Japan (STAJ) receives over 500 reports annually regarding dead stranded sea turtles. Fishery bycatch is assumed to be the greatest source of mortality of stranded turtles in coastal Japan. In addition, STAJ conducts research and monitoring on sea turtles that are bycaught in pound nets in Kochi, Mie, and Kagoshima prefectures, where approximately 100 turtle bycatch are recorded at each pound net site (Ishihara et al., 2006; Iwamoto, 2006; Yamashita, 2007; Takeuchi, 2008). Of the monitored sites, the site in Mie prefecture has a very high mortality rate, suggesting that fishery bycatch cannot be ignored as a source of sea turtle mortality. Moreover, many of the fishers operate with various fishing gear and method depending on the season, leading to extensively varied operation size and type of fisheries across the country. As a result, determining the types of coastal fisheries that pose the greatest threat to turtle populations as well as the extent of bycatch is critical in recovering the population of loggerhead turtles, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, and leatherback turtles that utilize coastal Japan as their habitat.

A small subproximal spine on the lateral margin of the antennular stylocerite, and the comparatively long rostrum (0.58-0.70 times as long as the carapace), distinguish the present new species from the northwestern Pacific congeners. These characters are shared with E. lineatus Wicksten & Butler from the northeastern Pacific. The new species, however, differs from E. li- neatus in shape of the subproximal spine on the stylocerite and armature of the basal segment of the antennular peduncle and merus of third pereopod.

By Madoka Sasaki, Rigakushi. Professor of Zoology, Fishery Department, College of Agriculture, Tohoku Imperial University, Sapporo, Japan. (With 3 plates and 1 text figure.) ..... PREFACE. I had an opportunity to observe the living state of Hotaru-ika Wata­ senia scintillans (Bm'ry) and the actual scene of fishing for them at Namerikawa, Toyama Prefecture in I9[3. I was there twice 111 that year, first in spring from April 17 to May 10, and again in summer, from July 2I to August 23. The present investigation embodies the studies concerning mainly the habits of the Hotaru-ika. The observations on their living state as well as the references to the fishery were made in the visits mentioned above 1) and the materials used in this study consist of the specimens obtained there as well as of those from other localities. The fishing season of Hotaru-ika in Toyama Bay and its coasts is commonly late April and the whole of May. The coast where this fishing is carried on, extends from Ota, Himi-gun, Etchu Province to ~toigawa, Echigo Province, which forms the deepest inlet of the Japan Sea in Honshu.
