Citizen journalists highlight the crisis of development in Magang Fishing Village

Protection of the environment and issues about land justice are topics that concern many citizen journalists. Magang Fishing Village, located under the Sandiao Cape Lighthouse in Taiwan, has been facing a crisis of land development in the past few years, which villagers believe poses an existential threat to the unique local marine culture. Several citizen journalists have reported on the issue to convey their concern about the future of Magang.

The fact that so many citizen journalists have covered this issue shows public awareness needs to be raised. On an up note, in the past few years, more people have gradually become aware of Magang’s unique culture and irreplaceable marine ecology through guided tours. Through PeoPo Webcast, we hope to generate even more awareness and support for the village.
