Hiroshima District Court Suspends the Reclaiming Project of Ponyo's Model Bay
Miyazaki Hayao visited the bay in 2005 and stayed there for two months. Before the judgment was given, he said in an interview that " I have my own opinion about the issue but I don't want to claim it openly. It's up to the people living there. However, it's a mistaken idea that the reclaiming project can reclaim the loneliness caused by the depopulation and aging."

Update
Miyazaki held a press conference at Studio Ghibli and praised the judgment. He said "It's quite a sensible judgment pointing out the fault in the project, which destroys the valuable cultural property. I express my respect for the judge's courage."

It looks like Miyazaki still is more than aware of what's going on. I respect his opinion, and the government's decision.
Yep yep!
