On Earth Day, Taiwan’s Pingtung County marked the planting of 1,000 seagrass seeds as part of a restoration initiative led by the Taiwan SPCA and the Fisheries Research Institute. Seagrass fruits were collected from Haikou, home to Taiwan’s largest seagrass bed, dominated by the ecologically vital Thalassia hemprichii. A Memorandum of Understanding signed with the Taitung Fishermen’s Association supports restoration efforts, with the Taitung Fushan Marine Reserve designated as a pilot site. The project aims to enhance biodiversity and protect marine habitats essential to species like sea turtles and dugongs.
