The All Japan Fisheries Federation has submitted a petition to the government to reiterate its opposition to nuclear contaminated water discharge into the sea in response | Japan | Government
Recently, despite strong opposition both domestically and internationally, Japan has forcibly begun testing nuclear contaminated water discharge equipment into the sea. On the 22nd, the National Federation of Fishery Associations of Japan submitted a petition to the Japanese government opposing its strong push to discharge nuclear contaminated water into the sea.
On the afternoon of the 22nd, Yasuhisa Sakamoto, President of the National Fisheries Association of Japan, held a meeting with Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, Yasumi Nishimura. Yasuhisa Sakamoto submitted a petition to Yasumi Nishimura, reiterating the stance of the All Fisheries Federation against the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant into the ocean, and calling for comprehensive measures to be taken against the damage to the image of Japan's fishing industry.

Yasushin Sakamoto, President of the Japan National Fisheries Association Federation, said that the discharge of nuclear contaminated water remains a matter of life and death. If nuclear contaminated water is discharged into the sea, I hope you can take full responsibility in the future. We still oppose the discharge of nuclear contaminated water into the sea without the consent of the public.
Earlier that day, the All China Fisheries Federation also voted to pass a special resolution opposing the Fukushima nuclear contaminated water discharge plan. This is the fourth consecutive year that the group has voted to pass relevant resolutions.
