NTU is dedicated to advancing sustainable fisheries
As an island nation, National Taiwan University deeply understands the importance of marine resource conservation. The university actively promotes sustainable fisheries by establishing the Institute of Fisheries Science and the Fisheries Extension Committee to cultivate talents in aquatic ecosystem and water resource management. Extending beyond campus, NTU implements Coral Reef Restoration Pojects, leads elementary school students to learn about coral knowledge, and assists communities in preserving fishing village culture to promote the concept of sustainable fisheries.
Furthermore, faculty members contribute to national education programs on the Impacts of Marine Fisheries, Fishery Vessel Management, Ocean Governance, and Monitoring, enhancing public knowledge of sustainable aquaculture and fisheries management. Student organizations also promote Sustainable Seafood Knowledge through cooking demonstrations and contribute their research capabilities to promote sustainable fisheries and improve aquaculture management.
Institute of Fisheries Science, NTU
The Institute of Fisheries Science combines academic research with practical applications, providing a comprehensive education in aquatic biology, fish ecology and resources, and aquaculture engineering. Graduates are well-prepared to contribute to government and industry.
Committee on Fisheries Extension, NTU
Our university has established the Committee on Fisheries Extension, which periodically conducts nationwide outreach programs. We actively engage with fishing villages and aquaculture specialization areas to conduct in-depth research. We aim to understand the challenges faced by fishermen in aquaculture and fisheries technology and provide timely technical and specialized consultation services to guide the sustainable knowledge and management of the fisheries industry.
Seample: A Citizen-Participatory Coral Reef Restoration Project ( FREE )
A student team at NTU is leading the way in marine conservation by developing innovative solutions for coral reef restoration. Their "mini coral tank" project, combined with on-campus fostering programs, interactive educational courses, and summer camps, has brought marine education to students of all ages. By providing hands-on experiences, the team aims to cultivate a sense of stewardship for the ocean and inspire the next generation of marine conservationists.

A Bridge Connecting the Ocean and the Community: Local Ama Diving Culture ( Free )
The NTU project team assists indigenous people in Yilan to establish marine resource education courses, using the local fishing and gathering culture of Ama divers as a teaching foundation. The goal is to promote the principle of harvesting just enough to sustain life, cultivate local traditional fishing talents, preserve professional culture, deepen the connection between local residents and the ocean, and develop sustainable local tourism itineraries.
2023 Marine Ecology Season: Blue Carbon Conservation Seed Teacher Training ( FREE )
Professor Dai Chang-feng from the Institute of Oceanography will be sharing his expertise on the impacts of climate change on coral reefs and the latest research on coral conservation and restoration. This training is a valuable opportunity for teachers to enhance their knowledge and inspire their students to become ocean stewards.
2023 National Ocean Talent Cultivation Forum ( FREE )
With the goal of fostering a deeper understanding of marine issues among the younger generation, the National Oceanographic Research Center has organized this forum featuring our faculty members, Professors Li Ya-rong, Tsai Ji-ting, and Liu Jia-xuan. Their presentations on fishery vessel management, ocean governance, and marine system monitoring will contribute to a better understanding of marine ecosystems and the significance of sustainable fisheries management.
Student groups promote sustainable seafood knowledge during their free time ( Food cost )
By organizing cooking events, they inform the public about the challenges faced by the fishing industry, including declining fish populations and marine pollution. The ultimate goal is to inspire consumers to make more sustainable seafood choices.
2023 Institute of Fisheries Science Summer Undergraduate Research Program ( FREE )
Our Institute of Fisheries Science is offering a free summer research program for undergraduate students. Research topics include aquaculture drug development, oyster raft culture management, and vaccine development for cultured fish. We hope students can contribute their knowledge to promote sustainable fisheries and improve aquaculture management in our country.
