Abstract

In Chap. 5, we study the importance of natural resources-based industries to turn around the negative feedback on the back of external demand. Blessed with rich offshore fishery resources and the development of inshore aquaculture, fishing has been a main stay of the Sanriku coast. It should play a leading role in reconstruction of the Sanriku coast. Nevertheless, the fishery industry is in a difficult situation. First, fishery industrial clusters, like that in Kesennuma city of Miyagi Prefecture, which consists of many fishery suppliers, shipyards, fish market agents, fish processors, and hotels and restaurants, must be harnessed in a holistic fashion to function well. Reconstruction measures require regional-level coordination. Concerted actions are necessary, not merely individual efforts. Amidst the declining population of Japan, reconstruction of fishery cities to counter the shrinking domestic demand requires novel approaches such as: rational mergers of geographically scattered small fishing ports, adding more value by branding products, and internationalization to capture foreign demand.
