1. Mao-ao Community Transregional Satoumi Network Communication Platform Conference卯澳跨區域里海網絡交流平台會議

In recent years, coastal communities have encountered significant challenges to sustainable development due to climate change, environmental degradation, shifts in industrial structures, the exploitation of marine resources, and the inherent vulnerabilities of coastal zones. To address the sustainable management of fisheries resources and associated industries within these communities, the principles espoused by the Satoyama Initiative—aimed at fostering harmony between human society and nature—along with the Satoumi concept, which underscores the coexistence of humans and marine ecosystems, offer a promising framework. These approaches are instrumental in promoting equilibrium between marine ecological landscapes and socio-ecological systems, aiding coastal communities in implementing Satoumi practices and advancing toward sustainable development.

Since 2020, the Mao-ao community has undertaken the development of a comprehensive Satoumi environmental education program and the establishment of model sites through the facilitation of focus group discussions and the integration of marine environmental education curricula. These initiatives are designed to foster sustainable coexistence between the livelihoods of fishing village residents and the natural environment. In recent years, the community has devoted considerable effort to advancing Satoumi experiential activities, promoting citizen science (including intertidal zone monitoring, underwater transects, and water quality assessments), and supporting local ecological production landscapes as integral components of Satoumi activities within fishing villages. Within this context, the forthcoming conference aims to critically examine local Satoumi awareness and developmental trajectories through the cross-regional exchange of perspectives among communities and stakeholders. Moreover, the conference seeks to strengthen partnerships within local organizations, enhance the integration of community-based management with marine environmental governance, and subsequently devise and refine strategies for the collaborative governance and sustainable development of coastal fisheries resources.

This platform conference, held on October 6, 2023, convened representatives from the Fisheries Research Institute of the COA, National Taiwan Ocean University, Dayseechat Social Enterprise Platform, the New Taipei City Government's Fisheries and Fishing Port Affairs Management Office, Gongliao District Office, Gongliao Fishermen’s Association, Fulian Village Office, Mao-ao Community Development Association, and the Taoyuan Stone Tidal Weir Association, with a total of 19 participants. The conference engaged in a scholarly exploration of developmental issues and prospective visions for the Mao-ao Satoumi area, addressing critical challenges such as the adverse effects of recent intense rainfall events that have led to severe turbidity in water flows into Mao-ao Bay, the degradation of coral reef ecosystems due to yacht anchoring in protected zones, and the erosion of traditional underwater harvesting practices by local male and female divers. Additionally, the Taoyuan Stone Tidal Weir Association contributed insights into traditional stone weir fisheries' historical evolution and cultural significance. The conference culminated in a comprehensive discourse among stakeholders aimed at jointly addressing localized issues, fostering inter-agency consensus, and formulating strategic interventions for sustainable improvement.

Sustainable Impact: Enhance the connection between the community and marine environment management, laying a foundation for the sustainable development of the Maao community.

近年氣候與環境變遷、產業結構改變、海洋資源的開發利用及海岸地區脆弱性等，造成海岸社區的永續發展面臨許多嚴峻挑戰。為思考海岸社區的漁業資源與產業水續經營之問題，透過里山倡議所提出實現人類社會與自然和諧共處的願景，以及里海強調如何讓人類與海洋可以共存共生，促進海洋生態人文地景與社會生態系統的平衡，協助海岸社區來實踐里海，將有助社區朝永續發展邁進。

卯澳社區自2020年透過辦理里海場域建構之焦點團體座談及導入海洋環境教育課程，發展系統性的里海社區環境教育及典範場域建構，推動漁村社區居民生活與自然環境間之永續共存。近年致力於推廣里海體驗活動、公民科學(潮間帶觀察、水下側線、水質檢測等)、在地生產生態地景等漁村社區里海活動。基此，本會議期望透過跨區域社區與權益關係人的意見交流，探討在地里海意識與發展願景，並強化在地組織内的夥伴關係，提升社區與海洋環境經營管理的連結，進而擬定及調整海岸漁村資源共同治理及永續發展策略。

本平台會議於112年10月6日舉行，邀請農業部水產試驗所海洋漁業組、海洋大學、小社區大事件社企平台、新北市政府漁業及漁港事業管理處、貢寮區公所、貢察區漁會、福連里辦公處、卯澳社區發展協會、桃園石滬協會等，人數共計19人，藉由會議共同探討卯澳里海場域發展議題與願景，包括近年強降雨沖刷地表導致嚴重混濁之泥水流入卯澳灣影響水質、遊艇於保育區下錨破壞珊瑚礁生態，以及傳統海男海女水下採集文化逐漸失傳等問題，接續也邀請桃園石滬協會分享傳統石滬漁業發展歷史脈絡與文化傳承，最後再由各權益關係人進行綜合探討與交流，共同商討地方問題，謀求各部會共識與改善策略。

永續影響力: 提升社區與海洋環境管理的連結，為卯澳社區的永續發展奠定基礎。

2. Fishing village revitalization & Recrational fishery conference休閒漁業暨漁村再生論壇

The conference was held on November 29, 2023, at the Kaohsiung, with 136 participants, including industry, government, academia, and research representatives. The conference focused on three key topics:

1. enhancing the sustainability and technological capabilities of fishing villages
2. promoting seafood education and recreational fisheries
3. implementing fishing village regeneration and regional revitalization

Through cross-disciplinary sharing and exchange of fishing village development experiences by government departments, fishing associations, fishing communities, and young fishers, the forum aimed to foster a collective concern for the sustainable development of fishing villages. Through joint efforts, a shift in thinking, and industry revitalization and transformation, we can illuminate fishing villages and open up more possibilities for revitalization.

Sustainable Impact: By shifting perspectives, create more possibilities for fishing villages, promoting their regeneration and development, allowing them to thrive sustainably in the future.

本論壇於112年11月29日假高雄蓮潭會館辦理，邀請產、官、學、研代表與會，共計136人參與，本次論壇分為厚植漁村永續力與科技力、推廣食魚教育與休閒漁業、實踐漁村再生與地方創生三個議題進行，透過政府部門、漁會、漁村社區、漁業青年等跨域的漁村發展經驗分享與交流，讓大家共同關心漁村永續發展，期許共同努力，透過翻轉思維、產業活化轉型，來點亮漁村，為漁村創生開啟更多可能性。

永續影響力: 透過翻轉思維，為漁村創造更多的可能性，推動其再生與發展，讓漁村在未來能夠持續繁榮。
