POTENTIAL OF URBAN WETLAND
AS A TARGET OF HABITAT RESTORATION AND
MANAGEMENT
Keita FURUKAWA
National Institute for Land and
Infrastructure Management, 3-1-1, Nagase,
Yokosuka, 239-0826, Japan
To restore the coastal habitat, surrounding dynamic coastal ecosystem (wetland
system) also needs to be restored. Nevertheless, coastal wetlands are decreasing in
alarming rate. It is unable to reverse the tendency unless changing fundamental causes
such as uncontrolled economical development, excess use of resources, and lack of
public interest. Nevertheless, it should not be a choice of “this or that”. One way to
implement breakthrough measures can be the restoration of wetlands in urban area using
sound ecological engineering to incorporate the restoration and the development. Now
Japan is trying to implement such an “urban wetland” solution by both top-down and
bottom-up approach.
The top-down approach: The Tokyo bay renaissance promotion conference has
enacted a mid-term action plan (ten years since 2003). The plan put a target as “restore
the beautiful coastal environment for enabling pleasant use and sustaining biodiversity
as a wealth of capital”. The restoration of coastal wetland as a habitat is one of a
prioritized action in the plan. The urban wetlands to be restored or managed have been
listed up as “appeal points”. The appeal point is monitoring point for assessing the
achievement of the target. These structures of the target setting to assessing the plan
enable to facilitate an adaptive management for the urban wetland implementation.
These kinds of action plans have been set not only Tokyo Bay but also Osaka,
Ise-mikawa, and Hiroshima Bays as a part of the national bay renaissance project.
For example, the “Shibaura-island’s habitat creation project” has been implemented
as a collaborative practice with local governments, researcher, and NPO to make an
urban wetland for entertaining local residences in Tokyo Bay. The project has been
supported by estuarine system research surrounding environment and structural
consideration to sustain the suitable habitat quality. In Osaka Bay, the other practice has
been ongoing. That is a collaborative research project at constructed wetland in the
appeal point in Osaka Bay renaissance project. The targets of the research were habitat
structural design in detail, and material selection for the rich biodiversity in the habitat.

Both urban wetlands have given good practice of adaptive management.
The bottom-up approach: Under these circumstances, situation understanding, target
setting, research and development, and systemizing have been discussed and
implemented for coastal habitat restoration by different sectors and organizations.
For example, a new terrace type wetland constructed by a governmental construction
office in Yokohama. A public participate monitoring and maintenance practice is
ongoing. An urban wetland park was planned by private development sector in
Yokohama MM21. A NPO has designed management plan for the urban park with local
residences, and organized a series of participatory classes. In Odaiba marine park in
Tokyo, constructed by Tokyo metropolitan government, a primary school is operating
environmental education program incorporate with a consortium of parents, NPO,
government, and local fishermen. These wetland restorations have given chance to
various sectors for participation.

COMMUNITY-BASED SEA GRASS BED RESTORATION AND
MANAGEMENT IN SETO INLAND SEA:
CASE OF AKOU COAST IN JAPAN
Osamu MATSUDA
Hiroshima University (Professor Emeritus),
Hachihonmatsu-Minami 6-8-13,
Higashi-Hiroshima 739-0144, Japan
Akou Coast located in the westernmost part of Hyogo Prefecture, Japan is one of
representative sites for environmental restoration in Seto Inland Sea based on the
concept of Sato-umi which is a currently topical term referring to coastal ecosystems
with harmonized human interaction under community-based management. Since variety
of activities on the environmental restoration and education has been developed in this
area, local people and varieties of stakeholders joined the community-based or
co-management activities. Among variety of activities, an activity on the conservation
of Chikusa River watershed and an activity on sea grass bed restoration by marine
divers are typical examples. Recently, these activities are integrated as a part of
Sato-umi project in Akou Coast which Ministry of the Environment as central
government, local government of Hyogo Prefecture as well as the municipality of Akou
City supported.
Major targets of this Sato-umi project in Akou Coast are restoration of the
deteriorated eel grass bed and unique shore vegetation along the coast. Restoration of
decreased resource level of short-neck clam and promotion of environmental education
are also important parts of the project. Among many related activities, achievement
attained by Misaki elementary school is one of the highlights in which school children
raised seedlings of eel grass and planted them in the targeted area after the frequent
observation of the environment and ecosystem of Akou Coast.
During the progress of the Sato-umi project, many regional meetings were held in
order to share the basic idea of the restoration based on the concept of Sato-umi. On the
occasion of Sato-umi Symposium in Akou held in March, 2009, many people of
community-based activity groups assembled at Akou City Hall, and discussed about
future plan. This indicated the strong involvement of a variety of relevant persons,
group and others in Sato-umi project. With a view to materializing future plans, the
establishment of an Akou Coast Sato-umi Committee for co-management centered on
Akou area is now within reach.

Historically, Akou Coast was well known for traditional salt making industry and
local people had made a good use of shallow coastal area. A part of the old salt pan is
converted to the public Seashore Park by the prefectural government, in which the Salt
Industry Museum was founded. Since the Seashore Park is one of the activity center for
the local people, combined activity of Sato-umi project with the Seashore Park is also
expected.

SUPPORTING ACTIVITIES FOR THE CREATION OF
SATO-UMI IN JAPAN
Yasuhiro MUROISHI, Takuya YAMADA
and Naoto OGAWA
Office of Environmental Management of
Enclosed Coastal Seas, Ministry of the
Environment (MOE) Kasumigaseki 1-2-2,
Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 100-8975 Japan
In Japan, Total Pollutant Load Control System of CODMn has been implemented in
enclosed coastal seas since 1978 and nitrogen and phosphorus have become controlled
substances since 2000. Due to improved waste water equipment and control standards
applied to factories, serious pollution has gradually been reduced. However, new
environmental problems such as the deterioration of ecosystems, including marine
resources, have occurred. Additionally, the public's unconcern, especially in urban areas,
with its marine environment and impoverishment of fishing communities managing
coastal sea areas also exists. Therefore, the creation of Sato-umi was designated in
“Becoming a Leading National Environmental Strategy in the 21st Century (MOE, June
2007)” which should be started over the next one or two years, as a national policy.
Sato-umi has long been important in supporting fisheries, transport and culture, while
helping to integrate management of land and coastal sea areas and preserve high
productivity and biodiversity in the wake of the human interaction.
Sato-umi has become rooted in Japan since “Becoming a Leading National
Environmental Strategy in the 21st Century” and “The National Biodiversity Strategy of
Japan” made it national policy. “The Basic Plan on Ocean Policy (CO, March, 2008)”
describes the embodiment of the concept of Sato-umi in the conservation and
management of fishery resources. Therefore, the MOE began supporting Sato-umi
activities in 2008.
The MOE promotes Sato-umi in order to achieve public consensus for marine
environmental conservation and preserve high productivity and biodiversity in coastal
sea areas. We conduct the following support projects with respect to Sato-umi:
1) We support model activities addressing environmental conservation and human
coexistence within coastal sea areas in partnership with local governments. One
such example is an Ishikawa Prefecture project in 2008, in which a steering
committee with various members was established to promote the creation of
― 63 ―
Sato-umi for Nanao Bay. Workshops and symposiums with diverse participants
discussed water environment conditions, regional resources, environment
education and a survey of Sato-umi, thus increasing awareness of Nanao Bay as
Sato-umi. Four projects for 2008 and six for 2009 have been selected so far.
2) We classify Sato-umi activities into six types: Integrated River Basin Activities,
Mitigation Activities, Urban Activities, and so on. Fig.1 We also prescribe plans
for Sato-umi creation for each type of activity.
3) We produce manuals for Sato-umi creation based on support activities, which
describe the preliminary notes, essential activities and prospective achievements
of Sato-umi.
4) We select advanced Sato-umi activities that are of help to others and we introduce
them using the tools described in 5) and 6) below.
5) We collect information and data of domestic and overseas activities for
preservation of coastal sea environments and have created a Sato-umi website.
6) We distribute pamphlets and leaflets on Sato-umi.
Consequently, The International Sato-umi Workshop in COP10 in November 2010
will take place in Nagoya, where we will explain Sato-umi further.
We aim to promote Sato-umi and preserve high productivity and biodiversity in
coastal sea areas by gaining public consensus. We also aim to raise interest in
environmental preservation of coastal areas in East Asia by spreading know-how related
to Sato-umi.

Integrated River Basin Activities
Activities that view the entire area from forest to ocean as an integrated whole
Activities to preserve forests and mountain woodlands
that are the starting point for the continuous water
environment, conducted by people living in ocean
regions that face problems such as the denudation of rocky shores. These activities view the forests, rivers
and ocean as an integrated whole.
Tree planting(Ichinoseki City, Iwate Prefecture)
Mitigation Activities
Activities to restore environments lost due to urban development, etc.
Efforts by companies to mitigate and compensate for the
environmental impact resulting from urban development
and the like, through the restoration and recreation of
environments that have been lost.
Mildly sloping revetment at Kansai International Airport
Urban Activities
Activities to preserve and restore seaweed beds and other shallows in urban neighborhoods
Citizen participatory activities to preserve and restore
environments, making use of tidal flats, eelgrass beds
and other natural environments located in close proximity
to urban neighborhoods.
Yokohama City on Tokyo Bay
Environmentally “Sacred” Ocean
Activities
Activities to create environmentally "sacred" precincts by establishing no-fishing zones and seasons
Activities to preserve natural settings in a state untouched
by fishing and other human activity. This is done by
prohibiting fishing activities and entry to specific islands
and ocean regions and making these areas "sacred" in environmental preservation terms.
Himeshima, Oita Prefecture
Experience-based Activities
"Hands-on" activities conducted in urban neighborhoods by city residents
Experienced-based learning conducted in fishing villages
near cities, using natural environment and living creatures. These activities are designed to enable local residents to come in contact with, learn about and gain direct
experience with regard to the ocean and nature.
Ako Coast, Hyogo Prefecture
Fishing Village Activities
Activities conducted as part of fishing activities, with fishing villages playing a leading role
Activities in which fishing industry personnel themselves
play a central role in efforts to improve the fishing environment, such as restoring and creating eelgrass beds
and collecting garbage from the ocean floor.
Ago Bay, Mie Prefecture

Part 2: Indigenous knowledge and
community based approaches in protecting,
restoring and managing key habitats
― 73 ―
6. Part 2 Summary
Integrated coastal management has often focused on the scientific. Referred to as a
‘pioneering and daring’ workshop, Sato-umi Workshop Part 2 took up where Part 1 left
off with discussions challenging the often scientifically driven top-down status quo
when designing and implementing integrated coastal management (ICM) initiatives.
Chaired by A. McDonald and co-chaired by Dr. T. Yanagi, discussions explored how
Asian communities can potentially work together to more effectively integrate science
with local indigenous/traditional ecological knowledge as necessary elements of
sustainable community based approaches in protecting, restoring and managing key
habitats. Indigenous knowledge has often been absent in the scientifically driven ICM
discourse. Science, many participants agreed, is but one key element. How to effectively
integrate cultural elements with science in developing ICM initiatives throughout Asia,
may in fact be the key to achieving sustainability.
Part 2 explored both the potentials and current limitations of community based
approaches in Asia. Building on discussions initiated by the sato-umi concept and its
application in Japan, Part 2 discussed the duality of diversity and universality of culture,
history and nature views that influence, both directly and indirectly, resource use and
management throughout Asian coastal communities. Discussions explored how shared
experiences drawn from the wealth of diverse Asian cultures that have evolved over
centuries of human interactions with nature, can further contribute to developing more
holistic approaches in future Asian-led ICM initiatives. Part 2 also indirectly challenged
participants to consider and discuss the role Asian community based approaches can
potentially play in contributing to global discussions of culturally integrative science
within the context of ICM discourse.
The following is an overview of Part 2 paper presentations. The papers reflect the
diversity, width and depth of experiences from across Asia. Drawing on the successes
and challenges of efforts in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Korea and the
Philippines, the following nine papers were selected:
1. Implementing an ecosystems approach to coastal management through
community-based organizations: An example from Andaman coast at Thailand
This paper by J. Soonthornnawaphat and J. Silva, IUCN, Thailand Programme set the
tone for Part 2 with the bottom-up community based organization’s successes,
highlighting their activities of marginalized community involvement. By involving
― 75 ―
stateless indigenous coastal communities in a multi-stakeholder driven ‘reef to ridge’
ecosystem approach, indigenous knowledge was incorporated into watershed
management. This has lead to empowerment among the communities, increasing
their capacities to become sustainable managers of resources within the management
framework.
2. Implementation of Tri Hita Karana, a local wisdom of Bali to maintain agricultural
resources
D. N. Suprapta, Director School of Postgraduate Udayana University drew on the
cultural beliefs embodied in Tri Hita Karana practiced in Balinese Hindu
communities as the foundation of resource conservation. Insight into how local
wisdom such as Tri Hita Karana guides collective resource use and management and
capacity building in communities were described. Tri Hita Karana, it was explained,
emphasizes man and nature’s harmonious relationship among the three elements of
man, nature and God. Man’s rules do not supersede those of nature in this
relationship and morality and ethics as critical elements of resource use based on
collectivism were also discussed.
3. Developing a mechanism of mobilization of various human and material resources in
planting, taking care and protecting urban green trees in Danang City
T. C. Hai, from the Danang Department of Natural Resource and Environment in
Vietnam described the challenges of implementing government initiated
community-based restoration projects in his talk about re-greening urban coastal
communities where large-scale degradation such as Danang has occurred. Tree
planting activities in coastal areas as capacity building for community based resource
management drew parallels to uotsukirin practices among coastal communities in
Japan.
4. Community Involvement in Coral Reef Restoration Projects in the Gulf of Thailand
The Marine Biodiversity Research Group’s paper from Ramkhamhaeng University
introduced NGOs initiatives to involve local fishing communities and volunteer
groups for low-cost coral reef restoration activities which have grown into multiple
benefit community led ecotourism, environmental education and ecosystem research
activities among all stakeholders. Short, mid and long-term planning mechanisms
were also identified as key components in ensuring sustainable partnerships among
the collective whole.

5. Evaluation of Artificial Reefs (ARs) in West Coast, Peninsular Malaysia
I. Ismail led the presentation by Institutional of Agricultural Food Policy Studies
team at Universiti Putra Malaysia. Though results are yet conclusive, the team of
researchers discussed their efforts to work with impoverished fishing communities
facing depletion of fish stocks and marine resources. This project to build and
monitor the effectiveness of artificial reefs (AR) has resulted in a moratorium on AR
deployment in the area until AR guidelines are designed as potential long-term
environmental concerns have been identified by the studies.
6. Community-based management approach at work in the Muan Wetland Protection
Area: Changing perception, changing practice and changing policy
J.Y. Jang and Y.R. Choi of Eco-Horizon Institute discussed efforts in Korea to
involve coastal communities as active players in marine protection areas (MPA)
establishment and management. Project leaders noted that by involving communities
from the beginning contributes to community empowerment and sense of ownership
towards the project; thus increasing their commitment to the project and sense of
responsibility as sustainable resource managers.
7. When the cradle falls: a case of management failure in community marine reserve in
southern Philippines
A. B. Guzman from Mindanao State University of Naawan gave an insightful talk on
lessons learnt from a community-based NGO-led initiative gone wrong when
re-organization of administrative roles and responsibilities by central government
lead to a sense of loss of ownership and involvement by the local communities who
initiated the marine sanctuary project. Changes in administrative organization also
led to a break down in marine resource management structures in the community and
degradation of resources in the intended protection sanctuary have been observed.
Re-involving the community as sanctuary guardians and re-assessment of the current
management structure were recommended.
8. Conceptual framework of organizing communities for effective mangrove
management
J.P. Savaris of the Zoological Society of London, Philippines spoke of her teams
efforts to re-establish green belts in coastal communities. Their innovative approach
involves integrating the scientific and indigenous knowledge. Though researchers
admit that collecting oral histories from elders is a race against time, the knowledge
about mangrove management practices among indigenous communities is noted as
― 77 ―
critical knowledge in guiding scientists developing mangrove restoration projects
based on community inputs and involvement.
9. Indigenous approaches to access, control and protection of coastal resources: a review
of some Philippine experiences
E. Ferrer from the University of the Philippines closed Part 2 with a thoughtful
discussion about how indigenous knowledge can be applied to resource management
practices but also have the potential to be integrated into scientific approaches to
community-based climate change adaptation strategies. Ferrer focused on the
traditional fishing communities in Batang where ecological knowledge is rich.
Harnessing the ecological knowledge of the fishing people and recording the
observance of taboos and their performance rituals have added insight into
indigenous approaches to resource management and use. Ferrer commented that
traditional ritual as symbolic expression of the relationship between human beings
and nature bring people and nature together, adding that this ‘humanizing of nature,
naturalizing of humans’ learnt from indigenous knowledge, as proposed by Sato-umi,
is critical to future community-based coastal management initiatives.

IMPLEMENTING AN ECOSYSTEM APPROACH TO COASTAL
MANAGEMENT THROUGH COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATIONS: AN EXAMPLE FROM THE ANDAMAN
COAST OF THAILAND
Somsak SOONTHORNNAWAPHAT and
Janaka de SILVA
IUCN, Thailand Programme. 63 Sukhumvit
Soi 39 Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Coastal ecosystems throughout the world are under significant pressure from a
multitude of factors. Good coastal planning and management are an important element
to maintaining and improving the health of coastal ecosystems. However, the effects
poor planning and management are evident in many parts of the world and finding
practical solutions that take into account the ground realties are needed.
This paper describes the learning from our work along a coastal stretch within
Ranong and Phang Nga Provinces, Thailand. Assessments conducted identified human
induced activities as one of the major drivers for change to the ecosystem. However, the
legal mechanisms to implement an integrated approach are weak as the regulatory
framework is complex and confusing, with overlapping jurisdictions.
To accommodate the situation, we have used an approach based upon a “reef to
ridge” concept that encapsulates the ecosystem based approach which has been applied
to coastal rehabilitation and management using a bottom up process that focused on
local stakeholders with special emphasis on community based organizations.
By building upon the extensive base of community based organizations (CBO’s)
within the area, who have already demonstrated a commitment to managing their
environment we anticipate that the long term sustainability on the interventions are
more likely to be achieved.
A framework for action was developed through an extensive participatory process
that involved engaging with stakeholders at multiple levels ranging from the village to
national levels who have been involved at the three stages of participatory assessment,
planning and implementation using local stakeholders.
The approach also builds on the existing strengths of the institutions within the
landscapes that are strongest to deliver the ecosystem approach and also focuses
secondarily on institutions that show interest but may not have the full technical
capacity to implement. We demonstrate how action can be taken within complex
― 81 ―
systems where the ability to set up institutional mechanisms at a landscape level can be
challenging and how a more decentralized approach can work to achieve similar
results.
This approach has lead to the building of a network of stakeholders who work
cooperatively in a manner that takes into consideration the needs and capacity of the
individual stakeholders. The paper will present the case of two CBO’s a forest and river
conservation group on how communities are managing and taking action to protect
important ecosystems within the watershed.

IMPLEMENTATION OF TRI HITA KARANA, A LOCAL WISDOM
OF BALI TO MAINTAIN AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
Dewa Ngurah SUPRAPTA
Director School of Postgraduate Udayana
University
Jl. PB. Sudirman Denpasar Bali Indonesia
Balinese Hindu community considers that man is part of nature and is the creation of
God. The existence and welfare of man are very much determined by his capability of
keeping the harmonious relationship with God (Parhyangan), harmonious relationship
with fellow human being (Pawongan), and harmonious relationship with the Nature
(Palemahan). The key word of this conception is “harmonious relationship”.
Harmonious relationship is relationship developed based on values and rules of each
element. The relationship with God is made based on values and rules of religion.
Relationship with other human beings is also made based on values and rules of
humanity, among others: the value of human right, democracy, equity, justice, and the
like. The relationship with nature is also made based on the rules of the nature itself
because man is alive and made alive by the surrounding environment. So, to sustain the
life of man, nature must function continuously. Nature cannot be managed beyond the
scope of its rules, so that nature can have its good cycle. Over-intervention to nature that
causes damages or degradation in one or more of its components will be harmful. This
coception is called Tri Hita Karana, meaning three harmoniously relationship among
related elements bringing welfare and happiness. The three elements are man, nature,
and God. In Bali, there is organization which functions to maintain and generate various
local wisdoms related to rice field called “Subak”. Subak, whose members are farmers,
has main activities to manage water and land resources for the interest of agriculture to
develop it in a sustainable way. This paper describes briefly the implementation of Tri
Hita Karana which constitutes one of the local wisdom in Bali in the field of
agriculture to maintain agricultural resources.
Key Words: Local wisdom, Tri Hita Karana, agricultural resources

DEVELOPING A MECHANISM OF MOBILIZATION OF VARIOUS
HUMAN AND MATERIAL RESOUCES IN PLANTING, TAKING
CARE AND PROTECTING URBAN GREEN TREES IN
DANANG CITY
Truong Cong HAI
Danang Department of Natural Resource
and Environment
Danang has been increasing planting urban green trees in recent years. However, its
effectiveness is not high yet, the covering rate achieved 2m2/person. This reality was in
consequence of various causes such as high rate of urbanization, natural disasters. And
one of the important reasons is the management of urban green trees in Danang city
contains many conflicts such as lacking of interagency coordination, overlaps in
management mechanism between agencies, various financial resources are not mobilized
while the city’s budget is limited, lacking of mechanism for community participation.
According to the orientation of the City, the index for urban greening cover to the
year 2015 will be 4m2/person, this will be difficult to attain unless there is a change in
management mechanism, diversified financial support in urban greening.
Deriving from the reality, the Project of planting, taking care and protecting urban
green trees in Danang city was implemented to increase the rate of urban greening,
develop pilot models on mobilization of various human resources for urban greening to
set background for changing management mechanism of urban greening.
Danang city assigned for Danang Association of Natural and Environment Protection
to receive the project. The members of project executive board include the leaders of
related departments, sectors, agencies to coordinate all activities of the project. With the
above mechanism of project executive board and positive participation of social
organizations, enterprises and communities, the project ensures the aim of mobilizing
various human resources is to set background for intersectoral management mechanism
of urban greening.
Total expenditure of the project is 1,780,150,000VND, in which GEF SGP sponsored
806,150,000VND, the city’s budget is 974,000,000VND. Besides, during the
implementation of the project, some enterprises, especially the polluters contributed
expenditure for the project. This help to ensure sustainable financial resource for urban
greening, this financial resource is one way to overcome pollution.

including the selection of trees that suitable for each pilot places;
2. Conduct public awareness to enhance awareness on the role of urban green trees,
regulations on management, the significance of the project, the role of community

trees; propagandize on the project on mass media;
3. Conduct to plant trees. Forces participating in tree planting consists of pupils,
social organizations, armed forces; After planting tree, stakeholders check sign the
commitments to maintain taking care and protecting tree;
4. Check and assess the implementation of commitment of pilot places; Compile
technical documents, lessons learned to scale up the project.
Actual accomplishments
The project planted more than 17,000 green trees of all kinds at 23 pilot places,
remarkably the coastal pilot place of more than 2ha of 850 coconuts. Besides the
selected pilot places, in the implementation of the project, Danang Association of
Natural and Environment Protection received financial support from some enterprises in
the city to plant more than 5,000 trees at 6 other places. This action can be seen as initial
achievement of mobilization of various human and material resources.
The project conducted 17 training courses on the role of green trees, awareness on
protecting urban green tree, the role of community in urban green tree management and
regulations on urban green tree management for more than 3,000 people.
Through participating in the project, some officers mastered a mechanism of various
human and material resources in planting and protecting urban green trees, understood
the existing situation and expectation of community in planting, taking care and
protecting urban green tree.
The project was successful in the mobilization of various human and material
resources for planting, taking care and protecting urban green tree. Basing on the actual
achievements of pilot models the project, Danang People’s Committee directed related
departments, sectors to develop a project of various human and material resources
mobilization for planting, taking care and protecting urban green tree.
Lessons learned
- Consensus of stakeholders is decisive factor of the success of the project;
- Community and social organizations are the nucleus for mobilization of various
― 93 ―
human and material resources;
- The head of the organization plays crucial role in the support and positive
participation in the project;
- Propagandized activities need to be integrated with other action plans to be more
effective;
- Need to cooperate with local government at all levels to put planting, taking care
and protecting of urban green tree as emulated target.
