Elementary school providing long-term education of the horseshoe crab

Located overlooking the ocean in Chiayi County, Budai Township, the rich natural resources of Shin-Tsen Primary School have drawn Academia Sinica to establish an ecological restoration classroom. In addition to ecological restoration, the school has also developed a related practical outdoor study program in which visiting students from other schools can escape traditional textbook teaching through participating in ecological restoration.

A recent collaboration between Shin-Tsen Primary School and the National Museum of Natural Science now means that expert explanations from trained guides provide visitors with a deeper understanding of the significance and value in ecological restoration with regards to the horseshoe crab, a 300 million year old living fossil.

嘉義縣布袋鄉的新岑國小因為近臨海邊，並且擁有得天獨厚的環境，中央研究院也因此在這裡設立鱟生態復育教室。新岑國小在復育鱟的同時，也規劃再地遊學課程，讓來自不同學校的學生能走出教室，藉由實際參與復育，跳脫傳統的課本教學。最近新岑國小更與台中科工館合作，讓來自不同縣市的民眾也能透過豐富的導覽解說，體會到復育這個從三億年前就存在的活化石「鱟」的意義與價值。
