The Yahagi River in Japan is facing environmental issues due to over-utilization and poor management. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, and Tourism's Chubu Region Development Bureau has been criticized for its lack of consideration for the river's ecosystem and its focus on human-centered river management. The bureau's approach has been seen as excluding the perspectives of fishermen and other stakeholders who rely on the river's ecosystem. In response, the Yahagi River Fisheries Cooperative has issued an "Environmental Fisheries Cooperative Declaration," which outlines its commitment to improving the river's environment and promoting sustainable fishing practices. The declaration includes seven items, such as improving the river's ecosystem, supporting research and policy proposals, and opposing the construction of new dams. The cooperative aims to work with local citizens, governments, and other organizations to achieve these goals and create a more beautiful and sustainable Yahagi River.
