Office of Management and Strategy for Marine Studies
March 6, 3, in order to promote research in the marine field by planning and drafting research strategies and consistent research management from the basic research stage to social implementation for research activities across the university. It was established by merging the Japan-Industry-Academia-Regional Collaboration Promotion Organization and the Research Promotion Committee.
During the period of the 4th Medium-Term Goal and Medium-Term Plan, national universities are required to promote research with greater awareness of social impact. In other words, in addition to the mission of revitalizing the Japanese economy through the production of human resources and research, revitalizing industry through innovation, and contributing to the revitalization of industries and regions by creating new value, each university has a mission that has been redefined by each university. We are required to take the lead in social change and solving regional issues through autonomous and strategic management based on the following.
At our university, we not only support research based on the free ideas of researchers, but also strategically promote research as a university, focusing on the social and economic value of research from the basic research stage, and transform society. It is essential to connect these ideas to the resolution of local issues and to share these ideas across the university.
For this purpose, this organization plans, develops, and promotes research strategies, plans, formulates, and implements research support measures, collects and analyzes information related to research, collaborates with industry, academia, and government, and regional collaboration, contributes to the community and society, and promotes research results and Other activities include support for business start-ups for the purpose of commercializing the results of activities, the development of human resources with an entrepreneurial spirit, the operation of the university's shared facilities, the management and operation of equipment registered in the open facility system operated by the university, joint use, etc. We will conduct operations related to personal property, security export control, and other risk management.

International Shipping Association PIANC "Fishing Port Planning" Working Group WG224 Activities
(Outline of activities)
In 1998, the International Shipping Association WG18 report "Fishing Port Plan" was formulated, and has been utilized in each country as the only international technical standard for fishing ports.On the other hand, over the past 20 years, there have been remarkable changes in the circumstances surrounding the fisheries industry, trends in needs, and technological progress. Work is in progress.Participating countries in the revision work are the UK, Denmark, Ireland, Iceland, Spain, Norway, Chile, Argentina, Australia, Japan (Nakaizumi), the US, South Africa, and Egypt. .
Since the kick-off meeting in February last year, WG meetings have been held seven times in web format.Currently, we are diligently preparing and discussing the manuscript with the aim of completing the first draft of all chapters by this summer.In particular, there is no other country like Japan that has a comprehensive and detailed institutional design of legal systems, business systems, planning methods, and examples of development and management. can be said.On the other hand, Europe in particular has been working on sanitation management, resource management, and digitization for a quarter of a century, and the progress and results of these efforts will serve as a reference for Japan's shift to resource management and its digital strategy.
We are also considering face-to-face meetings in WG member countries while monitoring the current situation of COVID-2022 infections.Japan is planning to hold a WG meeting in Japan, considering the importance of Japan in formulating this fishing port plan and the significance of exchanges with members through WG meetings. The activities of the WG, held in Japan, will continue to contribute to the development of fishing ports and regions, and to the improvement of Japan's status through international frameworks.

Results report of joint research/commissioned research
“Study on the influence of underwater noise from offshore wind power generation on marine organisms and standardization of measurement methods”
Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology's Office of Management and Strategy for Marine Studies has been conducting joint research on the above theme with Hirosaki University Regional Strategy Research Institute and Alpha Suiko Consultants Co., Ltd. over a two-year plan starting in 2.
(Research purpose and content)
It is said that when a bottom-mounted offshore wind power generation facility is installed on the sea floor, organisms will appear on the foundation structure, and based on this, a food chain different from the conventional one will be formed, and a new ecosystem will be constructed. .On the other hand, there are concerns about the impact on fish, benthic organisms, and seaweeds that live in the surrounding area, such as underwater noise and turbidity due to piling during construction, laying submarine cables, and underwater noise from turbines during operation.
Therefore, we will utilize the university's joint research system to share information and clarify the effects of underwater sound on aquatic organisms.In addition, we will work on standardization of measurement methods in order to properly evaluate the impact of underwater noise in the introduction of offshore wind power generation along the coast of Japan.The results of this joint research will be widely publicized, and will support the appropriate introduction of offshore wind power generation facilities and initiatives for fisheries cooperation.

Management and operation of European fishing ports and markets under resource management
For a quarter of a century, Japan has been working on the development of advanced hygiene management fishing ports and markets and HACCP management of processing plants, referring to the hygiene management efforts of Europe.In recent years, the export of marine products and food has been positioned as a growth industry, and HACCP certification and registration of production fishing grounds, production fishing boats, production area markets, landing sites, and processing plants in the EU and the United States are being promoted.On the other hand, fisheries policy is at a major turning point, centering on resource management aimed at countering IUU fishing and realizing sustainable fisheries. The Fisheries Law was amended for the first time in 70 years, and came into effect in December 2020. Based on this law, a new fisheries policy centered on fisheries resource management began.Furthermore, in December 12, the Act on Proper Distribution of Marine Products was enacted to establish a "catch certification system" for the purpose of preventing poaching of marine products, and will be enforced within two years from the date of promulgation.
How smoothly the introduction of the catch documentation system can be implemented in production areas and landing areas, how this resource management system will affect the management and operation of fishing ports and markets, and what kind of management and operation of fishing ports and markets. Is the way of being sought after?Although there are differences in culture and business customs between Japan and Japan, I am confident that efforts in European fishing ports and markets will be very useful as one of the options for various countermeasures.This report is not just a summary of field research, but is the result of research on the theme of "Management and operation of European fishing ports and markets under resource management" in Japan, including past literature and statistical data. .We hope that this report will be widely used.

General Incorporated Association Fisheries Civil Engineering Construction Technology Center Lecture "International Standards for Fishing Ports"
(Holding date and time)
August 2019, 6 19:15-00:16
(Venue)
Sankaido Building 9F Ishigaki Memorial Hall (Tokyo)
(Purpose of the lecture)
As international demand for marine products and exports continue to grow, the role and functions of fishing ports as production and distribution bases are becoming more and more important.Until now, we have been promoting the development of fishing bases that can safely and efficiently land, prepare for operations, and moor, as well as the development of fishing ports with advanced hygiene management. There is also a need to address these issues.On the other hand, the shortage of manpower, engineers and technicians has a significant impact on fishing areas.
Therefore, based on my long experience in fishing port administration and research on fishing ports in Japan and overseas, I would like to explore how fishing ports are planned, developed, managed and operated in Europe, where the seafood trade is thriving. He gave a lecture on international standards for fishing ports, such as how fishing ports are evaluated from an international perspective.

(Purpose of the lecture)
The revised Fisheries Act was enacted in 2018 and came into effect in December 2020, and a new fisheries policy centered on fisheries resource management is being promoted.As a base for resource management and a starting point for traceability, management and operation of fishing ports and markets are required.With the progress of population decline and aging, work style reforms such as improvement of labor productivity are required in Japan.Compared to urban areas, this is a more important issue in fisheries and fishing areas where population decline and aging are progressing remarkably.A quarter of a century ago, fishing ports and markets in Europe implemented measures for hygiene management, and Japan has promoted the development and management of fishing ports and markets that support hygiene management based on these efforts.On the other hand, in Europe, where the resource situation continues to be severe, for more than 12 years, efforts have been made to save labor and manpower by digitizing sales operations, increase handling volumes and prices, and resource management and traceability using ICT.
In this presentation, I will clarify the issues in Japan from the results of research and analysis of the current status and effects of ICT utilization in improving productivity, adding value, resource management, etc. in fishing ports and markets in Europe and Japan.
