国連食料農業機関 : FAOが、漁業資源に関する最新版のリポートThe State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture

　国連の食料農業機関 : FAOの漁業リポート「The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture　2008」によると、世界の海で魚の資源的な限界が訪れているという厳しい内容が発表されました。原因は、人間の過剰な漁と気候変動。これらの原因を分析し、適切な調整が行われないと、漁業資源の枯渇、生物の種の衰退が懸念されるということです。

・World fisheries must prepare for climate change

" The fishing industry and national fisheries authorities must do more to understand and prepare for the impacts that climate change will have on world fisheries, says a new FAO report published today.

According to the latest edition of the UN agency's The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA), existing responsible fishing practices need to be more widely implemented and current management plans should be expanded to include strategies for coping with climate change.

"Best practices that are already on the books but not always implemented offer clear, established tools towards making fisheries more resilient to climate change," said Kevern Cochrane, one of SOFIA's authors. "So the message to fishers and fisheries authorities is clear: get in line with current best practices, like those contained in FAO's Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, and you've already taken important strides towards mitigating the effects of climate change."

　日本の食物自給率が低いのは問題だが、周囲を海という漁場に囲まれているとてつもないメリットを考えると日本の食をめぐる環境のすごさを思い知る。日本人の海の幸、山の幸という感覚は、砂漠の国や、海をもたない国にとっては、想像もできないと思う。とはいえ、日本人が一番食べているといわれる魚の種類を数えると数十種類、日本人が一人当たり食べる魚の重さは、60kgを越え世界一。
　そして、今回のリポートのように、気候変動と魚の取りすぎに責任がある国と言われれば、日本となる場面も考えられる。非難を受けるからではなく、海洋国家として世界の食料と漁業と養殖の分野で世界をリードし、食糧事情の改善に寄与する国となるチャンスでもあると思います。(t_t)
