A great earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0 occurred on March 11, 2011, with an epicenter 130 km offshore of the Oshika Peninsula in Miyagi Prefecture. After the earthquake, a giant tsunami inundated a large area along Japan’s eastern coastline. We carried out field observations to investigate the damage to Arahama Town and the formation of a trench as a result of local scouring by the jet flow over the coastal dike. Here, the results of the field observations on the inundation of the tsunami into a wide residential area on Shobuta Beach and in Arahama Town were reported. Then, the destruction of the coastal dike, as well as the formation of a large trench immediately behind the coastal dike due to the tsunami overflow on the Yamamoto coast, was investigated, where the tsunami height reached up to 19.2 m above mean sea level (MSL), estimated from the run-up height on the slope of a hill.

Rias-type bays are one of the most common coasts in Japan where aquacultures have been active due to sheltered geological shape with a deep bottom. The huge tsunami hit Sanriku Coast consisting of open rias-type bays near the epicenter facing Pacific Ocean on 11 March 2011. For recovering Sanriku Coast, it is important to include sustainability in its program. Satoumi is defined as the human use and management of coastal seas for high productivity while maintaining high biodiversity. Therefore, we proposed Satoumi approach to an open rias-type bay, Shizugawa Bay, in southern Sanriku Coast. We conducted scientific researches on mapping of coastal habitats and aquaculture facilities, hydrography, and material flows of nutrients, a minor element (Fe) and organic matters in the bay including those from the rivers and from the offshore waters. At the same time, Committee for Shizugawa Bay Management of Fishermen’s Cooperative of Miyagi Prefecture decided to decrease in aquaculture facilities for sustainable development of aquaculture. Based on these data, a physical-biological coupling model was used for calculating the number of aquaculture facilities that are suitable not only for yields but also for environments. These researches were established on strong collaborations among a fishermen’s’ cooperative, local governments and scientists. Results of this practice may help to realize sustainable coastal use of a rias-type bay.
