Description

Japan Sea is a semi-enclosed international sea area. The East China Sea is located in the upstream area of the Japan Sea, and various substances, sea water, and heat are transported through the Tsushima Strait. In recent years, the Japan Sea has faced environmental changes. The sea surface temperature in the Japan Sea has increased with global warming. The rapid economic growth in the Northwest Pacific area influences the environment in the Japan Sea and surrounding sea areas. In order to propose an effective coastal environmental management method for Japanese coastal areas of the Japan Sea, the impacts and its influences of global warming and environmental changes in the East China Sea on the environment and ecosystem in the Japan Sea were studied using ecosystem numerical models. Our study clarified that the Japanese coastal area of the Japan Sea is strongly influenced by the East China Sea, and it is necessary to have a large-scale perspective for its management. Then, we proposed a three-layer management for the Japan Sea. The outputs of the project and the idea of the three-layer management are introduced in this paper.
