3. Early Career Ocean Professional (ECOP) Listening Sessions
早期職業海洋專業人士 (ECOP)聆聽工作坊
The listening sessions revealed that youth from diverse backgrounds in Taiwan—ECOPs, Indigenous youths, and young Ocean Educators—share strong concerns about marine pollution and ecosystem degradation. Across all groups, ‘Challenge 1: Understand and beat marine pollution' and ‘Challenge 2: Protect and restore ecosystems and biodiversity' were consistently ranked among the top three priorities. While the third priority varied, each group brought unique perspectives shaped by their experiences and professional or cultural contexts. All participants acknowledged that Taiwan has demonstrated significant strengths in marine ecosystem restoration and possesses the capacity to contribute valuable expertise and technology to global ocean sustainability. However, over 60% of ECOPs and Indigenous youth participants had never heard of the UN Ocean Decade, largely due to Taiwan's exclusion from formal UN processes. Despite Taiwan's fisheries and shipping sectors ranking among the top globally, it remains excluded from many international negotiations, resulting in a critical gap in global ocean data and perspectives. The participants called for more inclusive and culturally grounded ocean governance that integrates the knowledge and efforts of non-state actors, including Indigenous communities. Their collective messages urge that Taiwan's marine expertise and perspectives be meaningfully included in international dialogues—ensuring ocean sustainability efforts reflect diverse voices and local realities.

7. Development of Mussel Seedling and Intermediate Breeding Technology
淡菜育苗及中間育成技術開發
In cooperation with the Fisheries Agency of the Ministry of Agriculture and the Lienchiang County Government, the Bachelor's Degree Program in Marine Biotechnology has been engaged in aquaculture-related research in the Matsu region since 2021. The initiative aims to strengthen the transformation of the local seafood sales model and enhance the food safety of aquatic products in the area. With its excellent water quality, Matsu produces mussels of superior quality compared to those from Taiwan's main island, giving it a competitive edge over imported products. As a result, Matsu has become Taiwan's largest mussel farming region. The Zhoushan Archipelago in China has a well-established mussel seed industry with mature breeding techniques. Due to Matsu's geographical proximity to the aquaculture areas of Fujian Province, local farmers have long relied on purchasing mussel seeds from across the strait. However, the Chinese authorities lack proper source control over the mussel industry, posing potential food safety risks to Taiwan's mussel supply chain. Therefore, it is necessary to leverage Taiwan's advanced bivalve breeding technologies to establish a long-term mussel hatchery base in Matsu, ensuring both industrial autonomy and food safety stability. This project is a continuation of previous research efforts. In 2023, the team successfully established preliminary techniques for mussel seed cultivation, completed local seed collection and intermediate culture trials, and set up onshore aquaculture facilities in Beigan, Matsu. The feasibility of mussel hatchery operations has been verified, and collaboration experience with local growers has been accumulated. Building on the 2023 outcomes, the 2024 project will further examine the reproducibility and mass production potential of mussel seed cultivation, while collecting comprehensive data on reproduction and growth to establish a stable intermediate culture system. On the technical front, the project will continue refining artificial mussel larval incubation methods and organize a “Technical Development Seminar and On-Site Demonstration on Mussel Seed Cultivation and Intermediate Culture,” inviting Matsu aquaculture farmers and representatives from the Fisheries Agency to participate. By leveraging Taiwan's aquaculture expertise, the project seeks to help Matsu produce mussel seeds locally, forming a production and marketing model of “Taiwan hatchery – Matsu grow-out – Taiwan sales.” This approach will reduce capital expenditure and transportation costs while utilizing existing marketing and logistics infrastructure to minimize the need for new channel development. In the mid- to long term, the project will expand local aquaculture capacity in Matsu to prepare for the establishment of a permanent hatchery base capable of supplying sufficient mussel seeds to local producers, thereby promoting sustainable industry development. With the establishment of mussel seed cultivation facilities, the project is expected to directly create job opportunities in aquaculture and nurture skilled professionals for the field. The localized breeding research outcomes can also be applied to develop modular aquaculture systems, support fishermen's career transitions, and facilitate fishery transformation, driving the overall upgrading and promotion of Matsu's aquaculture industry. From a social impact perspective, localized mussel seed cultivation is a crucial step in implementing the Lienchiang County Seafood Certification and Labeling System. Through a fully traceable production process—from seed, grow-out, to sales—the project aims to realize a transparent and verifiable “from seed to table” model. This integrated traceability system will strengthen risk management efficiency, enhance food safety assurance, and improve the brand image of Matsu mussels, establishing a new benchmark for sustainable and safe aquaculture in the region.
Sustainable Impact: The university’s Department of Marine Biotechnology collaborates with the Fisheries Agency and the Lienchiang County Government to establish a sustainable mussel hatchery program in Matsu. This initiative embodies SDG 17.2.1 by fostering partnerships between academia, government, and industry to promote sustainable aquaculture and regional development. The collaboration strengthens policy–industry integration and advances innovation for a resilient blue economy.
海洋生物科技學士學位學程配合農業部漁業署及連江縣政府合作，為強化臺灣馬祖地區水產品銷售模式轉型，並提升馬祖水產品之食用安全性，自2021年起即投入馬祖地區水生生物養殖相關研究。馬祖地區水質優良，所出產之淡菜成貝品質相對臺灣本島更佳，具備與進口產品競爭的優勢，因此目前馬祖已成為臺灣最大的淡菜成貝養殖地。 由於中國舟山群島一帶淡菜種苗產業聚落龐大，其種苗培育技術亦相當成熟，馬祖鄰近大陸福建養殖區，長期以來多向當地購買淡菜種苗。然而中國當局對淡菜產業並無完善的源頭管控，造成進口種苗在食用安全上存在風險，對我國淡菜產業影響甚鉅。為此，有必要運用臺灣在二枚貝種苗培育上的技術優勢，於馬祖設立長期運作的淡菜育苗基地，以供應當地業者使用，確保產業自主與食安穩定。 本計畫為延續性計畫。2023年度已初步建立淡菜種苗育苗技術，並完成馬祖在地淡菜苗體之採集與中間育成技術驗證，目前已於馬祖北竿地區建置陸上養殖設施，並確認淡菜育苗之可行性，具備與當地業者合作進行貝類中間育成的經驗。2024年度計畫將以2023年成果為基礎，持續探討淡菜育苗再現性與量產技術，並蒐集完整的繁殖及生長數據，以建立穩定的中間育成技術。 在技術層面上，計畫將持續改良人工孵育淡菜苗體之技術，並舉辦「淡菜育苗及中間育成技術開發說明會暨現勘活動」，邀請馬祖地區養殖業者及漁業署共同參與。預期藉由臺灣本島之水產技術優勢，協助馬祖產出淡菜種苗，形成「臺灣育苗、馬祖養成、臺灣銷售」的產銷鏈模式。此一模式可降低資本支出與運輸成本，並可依循既有的行銷與物流系統，減少新通路建置的負擔。中長期而言，將逐步擴增馬祖地區原有的養殖設備，為設置長期育苗基地做準備，達成穩定供應在地業者種苗的目標，促進整體產業的永續發展。 未來將隨著淡菜種苗培育場域的建立，預計可直接創造水產養殖業的就業機會，並培育專業人才投入相關領域，生產足夠之種苗以供應馬祖在地業者。同時，育苗技術自主化的研究成果亦可應用於養殖模組開發，進一步輔導漁民轉業及推動漁業轉型，帶動馬祖養殖產業升級與推廣。 此外於社會影響層面，淡菜在地自主培苗是連江縣落實水產品證明標章制度的重要關鍵。透過從種苗、掛養到銷售的一貫履歷作業，將可實現「從種苗到餐桌」的公開透明與可追溯機制，建立完善的風險管理體系，強化連江縣淡菜食品安全與品牌形象，為馬祖地區打造兼具產業效益與食安保障的水產新典範。

8. Guidance for Establishing a Friendly Aquaculture Production Model (Year 3)
輔導建立友善養殖生產模式(第三年)
Changhua's coastal areas boast rich and diverse ecosystems and fishery resources. The Changbin area has developed industrial zones, while the Hanbao, Wanggong, and Yongxing areas have reclaimed land for fish pond aquaculture, yet still retain Taiwan's largest mudflat wetlands and natural coastal landscapes. Changhua is one of Taiwan's main aquaculture production regions, with hard clams being the primary species farmed. The coastal aquaculture area in Changhua County spans nearly 1,600 hectares, primarily concentrated in Fangyuan Township (about 1,200 hectares), with several hundred hectares also in Fuxing and Shengang Townships. In recent years, extreme climate impacts (temperature fluctuations, sudden heavy rains, water shortages), combined with long-standing improper human management practices (overstocking, deteriorating nearby water sources), have led to poor aquaculture results and declining profits, severely affecting fishermen's livelihoods. The frequent abandonment of farming due to losses is detrimental to the industry's sustainable development. Under the guidance of the Fisheries Agency and the county government, the "Changhua County Aquaculture Youth Association" was established to integrate local youth energy and drive regional added-value growth. Founded in October 2020, it currently has 67 members spread across Changhua's three major aquaculture production areas: Hanbao, Wanggong, and Yongxing (see Figures 1, 2, 3). Given the escalating impacts of climate change making aquaculture management increasingly difficult, traditional experience-based methods can no longer cope with the unpredictable climate variations. Moreover, most association members have not received formal aquaculture education and training, making it challenging to effectively assess and address the challenges and issues arising during the aquaculture process, leading to unstable cultivation rates and difficulty improving operational performance. According to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), sustainable and safe seafood supply chains have become an international development trend. However, most aquaculture operators pursue the highest profit per unit area, primarily adopting high-density intensive aquaculture models, with excessive feed and drug use, causing significant harm to aquaculture organisms and the ecological environment, and raising concerns about the quality and safety of seafood products.
Sustainable Impact: National Taiwan Ocean University supported the creation of the Changhua Young Aquaculture Alliance, integrating government, industry, and academia to promote sustainable aquaculture. This initiative exemplifies SDG17.2.1, fostering multi-stakeholder partnerships and cross-sector collaboration. Through shared knowledge and capacity-building, it strengthens local resilience and advances community-based marine sustainability.
