The development of fishing ports and coastal fishing grounds is one of the most important policies of Japan. Currently there are quantitatively sufficient fishing ports. At the same time, the “Build and Nurture Fisheries” policy is being used to develop coastal fishing grounds and promote fisheries in coastal areas and make efficient use of resources. Presently, the Japanese fishing industry is under severe pressure, both within and outside Japan. Given the demands of the age for protecting the global and marine environments and ecosystems, more efficient and effective linkages are being required for development projects. This paper will give an overview of the Japanese fisheries infrastructure and examine the development of associated policies in order to promote the integrated development of fishing ports, coastal fishing grounds and fishing villages.
