Institute of Marine Ecology and Conservation

Due to a long period of industrial development, the marine environment around Taiwan has faced tremendous threats. Therefore, the Ocean Affairs Council was established in 2018, of which one of the main goals is promoting research on marine ecology and conservation. Based on this purpose, the National Marine Research Academy (NMRA) was established in 2019, followed by the approval of our Institute by the Ministry of Education at the same year, with operation beginning on August 1, 2020. Our vision for the Institute is to work in partnership with the NMRA to focus on identifying the local marine ecology problems and implementing possible conservation solutions. We then plan to disseminate our experience to the South East Asian nations as a way to strengthen the international research collaboration. This will allow us to have a global influence and make significant contributions to marine ecology and conservation.
