簡介:台灣島位處太平洋的西緣,雖然四面環海,但受限於早期的政治因素,居住在島上的人,幾乎成為陸封的子民,當政治解嚴與社會型態大幅轉變之後,人們重臨大海之際,卻發現海洋環境已滿目瘡痍。「產房」紀錄片所要紀述的,正是在人們親臨海洋、發現問題、檢討反省、動手實踐的動人歷程。
海洋環境保育工作者郭道仁,所帶領的保育團隊,在東北角獨立打造了第一座結合復育、研究、教育、觀光與產業價值的海底社區。但期間所付出的心血與挫敗、衝突,外界幾乎一無所知,在漁民歡慶豐收的同時,「竹叢產房」的技術與觀念,以及這一群傻子義工的心情故事,一一被紀錄下來。(詳全文)

Topic: Facts about Taiwan's Coastal Ocean That You Need to Know!
Taiwan is surrounded by the Ocean. However, many Taiwanese may not be familiar with their surrounding coastal ocean, its uniqueness and the danger it may be facing. At the government level, there has not been a coherent ocean policy to deal with the overall challenges. Such ignorant attitude not only gives in to many immediate environmental problems, but also prevents the people of Taiwan to better make use of the valuable natural resource in a sustainable manner. On the other hand, the oceanographic research community in Taiwan has been at the leading edge among the international researchers in many areas, partly due to the unique coastal/oceanic environments that Taiwanese researcher can easily access and adequate research funding provided by National Science Council of Taiwan in the past 20 years. In this presentation, several unique facts about Taiwan
Taiwan's Coastal Ocean will be briefly discussed from a researcher's perspective. These fascinating issues include (1) Kuroshio, (2) Corel reef and biodiversity (3) Sediment source to sink, (4) Internal waves at South China Sea, (5) Remote sensing and environmental monitoring/management.
