This article presents the case of fishers-based forest planting initiatives in Japan, which have been ongoing since 1988. Aside from traditional practices aimed at protecting existing coastal forests, fishers have begun to plant and raise trees at the watershed level to benefit fishery environments. This study highlights the development process and identifies factors contributing to the long-term commitment of the initiatives toward sustainable fisheries in Japan.

From a historical perspective, three areas (Hokkaido, Miyagi/Iwate, and Kumamoto) pioneered the idea of ‘forest to fishery’ benefits at the national level. Since then, the number of initiatives has increased in response to national ceremony events, networking, and funding support, with 3779 initiatives starting between 1988 and 2017. The findings revealed that many hosting organizations planted deciduous tree species, aiming to ensure soil and nutrient enhancement. To sustain the initiatives, strategic efforts to build multi-level collaborative partnership were identified in terms of budget, human resources, and securing land for plantation. This article describes a Japanese model to develop a pathway for linking fisheries management to forestry at the watershed level.

本文介绍了自1988年以来日本一直在实施的以渔民为基础的森林种植计划。除旨在保护现有沿海森林的传统做法外，渔民还开始在流域一级种植和种植树木，以造福渔业环境。这项研究突出了发展过程，并确定了有助于日本对可持续渔业的倡议作出长期承诺的因素。

从历史的角度来看，北海道，宫城县/岩手县和熊本县这三个地区在国家一级率先提出了“从森林到渔业”的理念。自那时以来，为响应国家典礼活动，网络和资金支持而采取的行动数量有所增加，从1988年至2017年开始实施了3779项行动。研究结果表明，许多主办组织种植了落叶树种，旨在确保土壤和养分的增长。 。为了维持这些倡议，从预算，人力资源和种植用地的安全性方面确定了建立多层次合作伙伴关系的战略性努力。本文介绍了一种日本模式，该模式旨在开发将流域一级的渔业管理与林业联系起来的途径。
