A study of the Fishery Restoration and conservation Management of Fujin and Tonpang in Penghu Island

Penghu which is located south-west off Taiwan in the Taiwan Strait has a clean marine environment and is well qualified for developing fishing resources. The tidal flats are enriched in fish, shellfish and shrimps, thus serving as an excellent breeding ground for larval and important fish, Recently, offshore fishing industry is seriously threatened by pollution and over-fishing, which lead to the destruction of offshore fishing resources. Addressing the problem of fishing resources in terms of human activities and how to make the best use of these resources are concerned by the government, local community and scholars. Besides, the habitat will be destructed because of the greed of human and the used up of natural resources. The balance between ¡§resource protection¡¨and¡§resources exploitation¡¨should be enforced. On January, 2008, a rare winter weather kill resulted in the mass death of fish. This occurrence urged the industries, the government and the academic scholars to propose the new idea of learning case from Mainland China in the hope that the crisis caused by the winter weather kill may become a turning
point to restore the habitat. It is proposed that two islands, Fujia and Tonpang, are designed into the conservation areas of sea cucumbers, sea
urchin, abalone, and various shellfish such as crabs. The government, and local residents have worked together to promote the conservation and
restoration project. The whole project is conducted by local communities to build cage farming in inshore areas. This will not only help Penghu fishing industry with regard to the functions of conservation and restoration, but it also brings in income by tourism. By following the management mold of Zhangzidao Island Fishery Group Corporation, each island works as a unit to sustain the development of Penghu marine
fishing industry. Besides the support of the government and aquaculture farmers, the development of fishing industry should also focus on research. The collaboration between industries, the government and academic scholars shall lead the marine fishing industry of Penghu to the
development of fishing resource. With the cooperative education between the academic institutions and industries, as well as the support and assistance of the government authorities, fishermen and local
communities will be beneficial from the program to achieving the sustainable development.
