We’ve arrived algal reefs! – Concern for newly found algal reefs

This July, teachers and students traveled 200km from National University of Tainan Affiliated Elementary School (南大附小) to launch ‘One person One Letter – Request the President to Save the Algal Reefs’ activity. The activity, which called on the president to designate Guanxin (觀新) algal reefs a nature reserve, not only increased public awareness for the algal reefs in Taoyuan, but also curbed Taoyuan County Government’s plan to forcibly set up a wildlife reserve in the area.

On the 19th and 20th of this month, teachers and students were led on a visit to Guanxin algal reef by school principle Zhou Yi-xiong (周義雄), where they became acquainted with the fish weirs and wind farms of the highly-populated Xinwu Township. To coincide with the activity, The Affiliated Zhongli Senior High School of National Central University (中壢高中) brought along 40 teachers and students to provide assistance on the tour of mangrove swamps and the algal reef. Students from Nanda Elementary School also met up with students from the Yongan Elementary School (永安國小) – a school that has decorated its school walls with murals of the algal reefs.

今年六月200公里外的南大附小發起【一人一信請總統救藻礁】活動，呼籲政府劃設【觀新藻礁自然保留區】，讓桃園藻礁知名度大增，也適時遏阻桃園縣政府強推【野生動物保護區】的敷衍作為。本月19、20日，該校師生由校長周義雄帶領探看觀新藻礁，並且認識全台最密集的新屋石滬群和桃園大圳水利設施。活動期間，中壢高中約40名師生也到場參與紅樹林藻礁導覽協助，南大附小同學也與藻礁文化牆彩繪的永安國小小朋友見面。
