Abstract

Taiwan is an island surrounded by seas. Traditional and local inshore fishing has all but disappeared, due to Taiwan’s industrial development and overzealous economic policy. The natural order of taking from and returning to the sea has been destroyed. Owing to overfishing and industrial pollution, the island’s marine resources have been significantly depleted. Because of this, Taiwan’s fisheries sector has over the past 30 years steadily developed a highly mechanized distant-water fleet.
