This interdisciplinary symposium, held in conjunction with the launch of the Marine Policy Japan special issue, "Japan's Fisheries Law Policy in the Global Effort for Sustainable Fisheries," aims to highlight issues and challenges in sustainable fisheries management in Japan and Northeast Asia, and to discuss ways and means to advance the transition to sustainability in a context where governance frameworks for sustainable fisheries are still in the process of being established.
