For the sustainable development of fishery resources, the Keelung Fisheries Association held an ocean cleanup activity on Sept. 6 in Chaojing Park and Wanghaisiang. More than 200 volunteers, including 120 divers, and 11 fishing boats took part in the campaign. The divers spent more than four hours cleaning up a big load of trash, such as fishing nets, plastic bottles and wooden boards.
Keelung Fisheries Association director-general Chen Wen-chin said that, in order to make offshore waters cleaner and keep marine resources sustainable, the Wanghaisiang bay area was chosen this year for the ocean cleanup campaign, whose purpose is to clean up marine trash so that squid and other marine life can reproduce and provide an endless supply of fishery resources. There were more volunteers and fishers participating in this year’s activity than in previous years’ beach cleanup campaigns, and Chen was grateful for the participants’ enthusiastic contributions.
Chen said the activity was organized by the Keelung Fisheries Association, Keelung City’s Jhongjheng District Office and the National Museum of Marine Science and Technology, and co-organized by the Keelung Rescue Association, Keelung City’s Bureau of Environmental Protection, the Taiwan Environmental Information Center and Lions Clubs International. The campaign organizers urge the public to cherish marine resources and do whatever they can to take care of the environment.

A: The Danjiang Bridge in New Taipei City is to open on May 12, and the MRT Sanying Line (Light Blue Line) will also open in June. Isn’t that great? B: Is that the bridge connecting the city’s Tamsui and Bali Districts? What’s so special about this new landmark spanning the Tamsui River? A: The Danjiang Bridge will become the world’s longest-span single-mast asymmetric cable-stayed bridge — with a total river-crossing section of 920 meters and main span of 450 meters.

Few sea creatures of their size have as much destructive power as pistol shrimp. These small animals, usually measuring around four centimeters long, produce shock waves that can stun or even kill their prey. The attack begins when the shrimp opens its specialized claw, allowing water to fill a chamber inside. Then the claw closes rapidly. A bump on the claw strikes the chamber, forcing the trapped water out through a narrow opening at a high speed of about 25 meters per second. The rapid movement forms a bubble in the water that collapses almost instantly under the pressure of the

His left eye was swollen shut. The right one burned red like a coal. “It feels like fire,” the man gasped. “Like something is clawing inside.” Thunder rolled across the mountain. Baosheng leaned closer. The man’s skin was cold, but heat rose from his face. A strange smell hung in the air. He began the four methods of diagnosis: looking, listening/smelling,
In the dense forests of Tanzania, a young researcher sat quietly among the trees, her gaze fixed on a troop of chimpanzees. It was 1960, and Jane Goodall, armed with nothing but a notebook and endless curiosity, was about to change science forever. Inspired by childhood stories like the Dr. Dolittle series, she had dreamed of Africa — and now, thanks to the encouragement of anthropologist Louis Leakey, she was there, face-to-face with the wild. What Jane discovered shocked the world. Chimpanzees weren’t mere creatures of instinct; they were individuals with emotions, families, and even the capacity for tool
