- Abstract: In addition to the management of marine protected areas, the management of non‐protected areas is integral to sustainable use and conservation of coastal zones. The human–nature connection has drawn increasing attention in the Western society because the disconnect from nature is a root cause of ecological crises and unsustainability. Re‐connecting is a promising avenue. We propose satoumi creation as an approach for the sustainable use and conservation of coastal zones by re‐connecting people to nature. Satoumi is a Japanese term describing a desirable state of coastal zones with enhanced biodiversity and productivity realized by active human intervention. Although satoumi is promising, previous discussions have been narrowly focused on ecosystems. We reconsidered satoumi from a social‐ecological system (SES) perspective to elucidate the full spectrum of its key features. The human–nature connection is an integral part of satoumi. Satoumi engenders relational values in addition to instrumental and intrinsic values. Satoumi as a state is one thing and its creation another. We cannot merely transplant a successful satoumi to other locations. Furthermore, because coastal SESs are complex, systemic transformation into satoumi requires identifying deep leverage points. We propose a certain marine education at schools that could function as a deep leverage point. The education corresponds to the three realms of deep leverage for sustainability transformation:Abstract: In addition to the management of marine protected areas, the management of non‐protected areas is integral to sustainable use and conservation of coastal zones.

Foreign Language Abstract 概要: 海洋保護区の管理に加えて, 保護区に指定されていない沿岸域の持続的利用と保全が求められている. 人と自然のつながりの断絶が生態系の劣化や持続不可能性の根本的な原因と考えられることから, 西洋では人と自然のつながりに対する関心が高まっている.したがって, つながりの回復が, 沿岸域の持続的利用と保全を実現するための効果的な方法であると考えられている. そこで, 本稿では沿岸域を里海にすることによって, 人と自然のつながりを回復することを提案する.里海は人手を加えることによって生物生産性と生物多様性を高めた望ましい沿岸域を指す日本の概念である. 里海は人と自然のつながりを回復する手がかりとなる可能性があるものの, これまでの里海の議論では, 狭く生態系に焦点が当てられており,人と自然のつながりに関する十分な議論がなされてこなかった.そこで本稿ではより広く, 社会生態系の視点から里海を再考する.人と自然のつながりは里海の核をなすものであり, 里海は道具的価値, 本質的価値に続く第三の価値である関係価値を醸成している. ただし, 里海が望ましい状態であるということと, 里海を創成することは全く別の話であり, 望ましいからといって里海の成功例を単純に他の場所に移植することはできない.複雑な社会生態系である沿岸域にシステミックな変化をもたらし, 里海を創成するためには, いわゆるディープ・レバレッジ・ポイントを特定することが有効であると考えられる.そこで本稿では, 教育機関が実施する特定の海洋学習がディープ・レバレッジ・ポイントとして機能する可能性を提案する.こうした教育は持続可能な変革をもたらすディープ・レバレッジ・ポイントの三つの類型, 再構成, 再接続, そして再考に呼応するものである. … (more)
