Fish-attached forest

Japanese: 魚付林 - うおつきりん

A forest is a type of forest that is planted or cultivated on the coast, lake shore, or river bank for the purpose of attracting schools of fish and preserving fishing grounds. It is a type of forest protection. It provides shade to the water surface, which is suitable for fish to rest and spawn, and promotes the development of aquatic microorganisms by providing good nutrients from leaf mold, which helps to preserve water quality and stabilize water volume. It is also important as a scenic forest and a health forest.
