Abstract

Using Miyagi Prefecture, Tohoku, Japan, as a case study, this chapter highlights the difficulties consolidation of fishing cooperative associations (FCAs) presents currently to small-scale fisheries governance in Japan. Historically, Japanese small-scale fisheries are known for their successful management through fisheries cooperatives and traditional local institutions. Significant change has taken place in the last 20 years, however, with the consolidation of local, port-level FCAs into prefecture level ones. A question is thus raised about the overall quality for governance, i.e. capacity and capability, in such large-scale mergers of local, port-level cooperatives into prefectural ones. In other words, is the fisheries system more or less governable with the new governance arrangement? Consolidating cooperatives may be economically rational; yet doing so disempowers local, small-scale fishers and does not, contrary to stated goals, provide better services to member fishers.

Fußnoten
1
For a detailed description of the entire system see Makino and Matsuda (2005).
 
2
A pseudonym has been used so as to protect the identity of people given the political nature of current fisheries rights discussions in Miyagi Prefecture.
 
3
JF is the official name of Japan’s national level fisheries cooperative association; also known in Japanese as zengyoren.
 
4
Change over time makes the terminology confusing. Formerly “local” FCAs were at the port level and no longer officially exist in the nine prefectures with prefectural FCAs; though their fishing-ground management boards do. What are now branch cooperatives were formed from the consolidation of these local, port-level FCAs.
 
5
Porphyra spp.; a seaweed most known in the West as a wrapper for sushi.
 
6
In Japan, FCA membership is held by the household head (or by a widow of a household head).
 
7
“Fishing grounds” (gyoba) is a general term which refers to any fisheries area, including wild capture and aquaculture.
