Following the release of treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear plant into the sea, China imposed an import ban on Japanese marine products, significantly impacting Japan's fishing industry. A Kyodo News survey revealed that 80.6 percent of prefectural fisheries cooperative associations in Japan were affected by the ban. In response, Japan and China held talks last month to discuss the issue. Concurrently, Japan is diversifying its seafood export destinations and expanding its renewable energy initiatives, including plans to allow offshore wind turbines beyond its territorial waters into its exclusive economic zone (EEZ).
