During a meeting with Japanese Minister of economy and industry Hagi Morita on the 5th, Hiro Ishi, President of Japan's National Federation of Fisheries Associations, reiterated his firm opposition to the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea from Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. According to Kyodo News Agency reported on the 5th, Japanese Minister of economy and industry Hagi Shengtian Guangyi visited Japan's National Federation of fishery associations on the 5th and held talks with President Hiro Ishikawa. This is the first time that Japanese Minister of economy and industry went to the National Federation of fishery associations to explain after the Japanese government decided to discharge nuclear sewage into the sea in April last year. After the talks, an Hong reiterated to the media that "the position of resolutely opposing the discharge of the sea remains unchanged". Koichi Yoshida said that he would abide by the commitments of fishery related personnel and would not discharge into the sea without the understanding of relevant people. He said that he would create a "super large-scale fund" to support the sustainable development of fishery. On April 13, 2021, ignoring the doubts and objections at home and abroad, the Japanese government decided to discharge a large amount of nuclear sewage from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant of Tokyo Electric Power Company into the sea after filtration and dilution. At present, more than 1.25 million tons of nuclear sewage are stored in Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. TEPCO plans to discharge the so-called "radioactive material up to standard" nuclear sewage to the Pacific for a long time in the spring of 2023. Fukushima Prefecture fishery association and Japan National Federation of fishery associations strongly oppose the scheme of discharging nuclear sewage into the sea. Opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan have also criticized the Japanese government's nuclear sewage disposal plan and called for the withdrawal of the decision. On March 30, four non-governmental organizations in Fukushima Prefecture and Miyagi Prefecture submitted a joint signature of about 180000 people opposed to the discharge of nuclear sewage into the sea to the Ministry of economy, industry and Tokyo Electric Power Company, asking for other methods to treat the nuclear sewage of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
