PREFACE
The United States and Japanese counterpart panels on aquaculture were
formed in 1969 under the United States-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural
Resources (UJNR). The panels currently include specialists drawn from the
federal departments most concerned with aquaculture. Charged with exploring
and developing bilateral cooperation, the panels have focused their efforts
on exchanging information related to aquaculture which could be of benefit
to both countries.
The UJNR was started by a proposal made during the Third Cabinet-Level
Meeting of the Joint United States-Japan Committee on Trade and Economic
Affairs in January 1964. In addition to aquaculture, current subjects included
in the program are desalination of seawater, toxic microorganism, air pollution,
water pollution, energy, forage crops, national park management, mycoplasmosis,
wind and seismic effects, protein resources, forestry, and several joint
panels and committees in marine resources research, development, and utilization.
Accomplishments include: Increased communications and cooperation among
technical specialists; exchanges of information, data, and research findings;
some 30 missions involving over 300 scientists and engineers; seven meetings
of the Conference, a policy coordinative body; administration staff meetings;
exchanges of equipment, materials, and samples; several major technical
conferences; and beneficial effects on international relations. Because
of the importance of natural resources in this cooperation, the Secretary
of State asked the Secretary of the Interior to serve as U.S. Coordinator
of the UJNR.
