…… it is important to actively make efforts to create new
marine industries….…. An innovation system should also be formulated under industry-academia-government
collaboration and rational planning needs to be promoted for these related parties to establish clear goals, conduct surveys, research and development, and put them into practical use.

MSP in Japan
No clear definition of Marine Spatial Planning (海洋空間 計画) by the Headquarters for Ocean Policy.
Case of the U.S. What is Coastal and Marine Spatial Planning?
Coastal and marine spatial planning—or marine planning—is a science- based tool that regions can use to address specific ocean management
challenges and advance their goals for economic development and
conservation. … Put simply, marine planning is a process developed from the bottom up to improve collaboration and coordination among all
coastal and ocean interests, and to better inform and guide decision- making that affects their economic, environmental, security, and social and cultural interests. (from Website of NOAA, US)
Some points had already been incorporated in previous coastal planning.
No concept or idea related to MSP in Japan?

Integrated Costal Management (ICM)
(Wakita and Yagi, 2013)
Spatial
responsibilities for coastal
management in Japan
Needs integration among sectors
Integrated Costal Management (ICM)
(Wakita and Yagi, 2013)
Needs integration among national and
local governments Japanese government framework related to ICM. *The National Land Agency was integrated into Ministry of Land,
Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism as one bureau, the National and Regional
Planning Bureau in 2001.
Guideline for Integrated Coastal Management Plans 2000
Guideline for Integrated Coastal Management Plans was agreed upon at the Grand Design for the 21st Century Grand Design
Liaison Conference in 2000.
It was formulated by 17 ministries and agencies related to coastal management
It is not binding on local governments, but the first and the
only national strategic document that approaches coastal areas to be managed as integrated spaces encompassing land and
sea, with integration of among sectors, national and local governments, and all stakeholders.
Poor in implementation
Policy Implementation Framework by Mazmanian and Sabatier (1981, 1989)
Why the Guideline 200 has not been implemented?
Condition 1: Clear and consistent objectives;
Condition 2: Causal linkages between objectives and actions;
Condition 3: Structuring implementation processes involving sufficient financial resources and assignment of implementation authority;
Condition 4: Assigning implementation responsibility;
Condition 5: Public and stakeholder support; and
Condition 6: Supportive socioeconomic and policy environment.
Extent to which the Guideline met the effective implementation
Condition Assessment
1.Clear and consistent objectives Low
2.Causal linkages between objectives and actions Low
3.Structuring implementation processes involving sufficient financial resources and assignment of implementation authority
①Assigning implementation responsibility
②Assigning implementation authority with adequate hierarchical integration and few hindering points
③Financial resources
Low
4.Commitment and skill of top implementing officials Low
5.Public and stakeholder support High
6.Supportive socioeconomic and policy environment High
1)Participation and collaboration among all stakeholders
2)Spatial integration between land and sea
3)Long-term approach considering ecosystem
4)Consistent management
Central element of ICOM
(Cicin-Sain & Knecht, 1998) U.S.
8 principles of the EC (2002) Europe Essential element of ICM
(Chua, 2006) East Asia
Adequate in principles
Too much detail in the implementation process set in the Guideline
Condition 3-① Assigning implementation responsibilities Principles in developing ICM plans
Principles in other
regions
Coastal area needs to be identified in consideration of ecosystem, areas of mutual influence by geographical
settings, water flow, and sediment transportation.
48 areas by the national government
The extent of area towards land and sea, local governments set in
consideration of their natural and
social characteristics and items of plan.
海岸線方向の48区分
Setting of the coastal areas Condition 3-① Assigning
implementation responsibilities
Adequate in principles
48 coastal areas = Multiples prefectures
Cicin-Sain and Knecht, 1998:
“Starting from single local government or authority is a good
way to implement Integrated Coastal and Ocean Management.”
Chua, 2006:
“…it is advisable to design the integrated coastal management program for within the administrative boundaries of a coastal municipalities or a province.”
Setting of the coastal areas
Difficult in actual implementation

Position Document of Advisor to Headquarters for Ocean Policy (March 28, 2016)
Development of renewable ocean energy
•Industrialization of wind energy would speed up if zoning of non-designated ocean space is
implemented and a broad-scale road map for industrialization is provided by the national
government
Way forward (1)
Major designated ocean areas
http://www.kaiyoudaichou.go.jp/
Report of the Offshore Wind Energy and Ocean Renewable Energy Working Group, Advisor to Headquarters for Ocean Policy (March, 2016)
•Broad-scale wind farm needs a certain amount of ocean space. Hence, use and zoning of non-
designated ocean space is essential. …
If a zoning of 20km×150km ocean space in multiple
areas could be developed, 20 GW offshore wind energy industry would be developed and 5% of national
energy demand would be provided by them, ….
Way forward (2)
Offshore wind energy
• How to develop zoning and rule of use in non-designated ocean space
• How to promote collaboration and cooperation with fisheries
Way forward (3)
Environmental Impact Assessment
• How to develop detail of EIA for various marine industries
Marine Protected Area
• How to develop and effectively manage MPAs
