Ecological Risk Management of Coral Sea : Building the Collaboration Mechanism among Residents, Researchers and Local Government Units

我们研究了研究人员如何支持约伦岛(日本鹿儿岛县)和圣米格尔岛(菲律宾阿尔贝)上的农村社区对珊瑚海进行生态风险管理，这些岛屿的珊瑚礁一直在恶化。在约伦州，人类经济活动对土地造成的环境负担是这一问题的主要案例，我们设立了定期协商会议，以促进共识的建立，并根据我们的研究提出可能的对策。这些计划随后通过与农民的对话(目前正在实施过程中)进行了修订。在破坏性捕鱼行为导致珊瑚礁退化的圣米格尔海峡，我们在当地大学合作的背景下调查了这一现象的过程和现状。我们还研究了与农村社区和有关地方政府单位合作建立和管理海洋保护区的情况，并分析了可能带来成功解决的因素。

We have studied how researchers can support the ecological risk management of coral seas by rural communities on the Yoron Island(Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan) and the San Miguel Island(Albay, Philippines) where coral reefs have been deteriorating. In the Yoron Is., in which environmental burden resulting human economic activities on land areas is a major case of this problem, we set up regular consultative meeting to promote consensus building and suggest possible countermeasures based on our research. These plans were then brushed up through interlocution with farmers(now in the process of implementation). In the San Miguel Is., in which destructive fishing practices have led to the deterioration of coral reefs, we investigated the process and current status of this phenomenon in context of local university collaboration. We also looked into in establishing and managing MPAs in cooperation with rural community and relevant local government units, and analyzed the factors which would be likely to bring about a successful resolution.
