On the 16th, the Fisheries Agency held the first meeting of the Noto Peninsula Earthquake Fishing Area Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Technology Research Group in Kanazawa City. They presented images of temporary and long-term restoration of fishing ports damaged by land fluctuations, and affirmed their policy of discussing measures and procedures depending on the damage from a technical perspective. . A guideline will be drafted in July and will be used by Ishikawa Prefecture and municipalities that manage affected fishing ports as a roadmap for recovery and reconstruction.

The research team includes academics and the New Technology Research Group on fishing ports and fishing grounds. Akio Okasu, Vice President of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, was appointed chairman of the committee.
We have presented several images of temporary and permanent restoration of enhanced areas, assuming that the province or municipality responsible for restoration will consider the wishes of the area. Examples of temporary rehabilitation include the installation of temporary mooring facilities using temporary piers and breakwaters as well as the excavation of fishing channels. This restoration is based on the idea of creating channels and anchorages within existing fishing ports through dredging and excavation, as well as creating a new offshore fishing port or relocating it. We will discuss the options administrators have for temporary and permanent recovery, including a combination of countermeasures.
The Committee believes that flexible measures should be chosen, depending on factors such as the hardness of the ground, the size of the fishing vessel and the construction period. At the first session, comments were made suggesting turning this place into a natural disaster prevention base and considering supporting maritime transport in emergencies. It is believed that the design and construction of areas with ground fluctuations can be handled by applying existing engineering standards.
After the first meeting, Chairman OKasu said, “I will not mention the specific fishing port plan,” but added, “I want to find solutions to the new problem of ground fluctuations and support recovery and reconstruction.” ' Takashi Nakamura, Director of the Planning Division, Fishing Port Development Department, Fisheries Department, expressed interest in discussions based on technical knowledge of planning, design and construction.
The province will use the results of the study in a reconstruction policy to be compiled by the Noto Fisheries Port Reconstruction Council next spring.
