A measure and enforcement of marine policy to maintain seaweed forests and their associated fish resources were investigated in Asian countries situating along the Kuroshio Current. The habits and distribution changes of seaweed forests in the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan were examined at some definite points in the coast, where marine protected areas were established. The consciousness and evaluation of residents in fishing villages who are coordinately involved in maintaining and managing marine protected areas were analyzed. An international workshop among these three countries was held three times, and the proceedings were published in a journal.
