SDG 14.5.2 Monitoring the health of aquatic ecosystems
NCUE has ongoing projects and activities, including the Environmental Education Center’s “Beautiful and Treasured Clams in Fangyuan and Dacheng: Sustainable Industry and Environment Project of Changhua’s Two Cities Amid Climate Change”.
Building on the existing water quality investigation services from the 2022 year "Deepening Fangyuan and Partnering with Dachen: Changhua Twin Cities’ Industry and Environmental Sustainability Pilot Project," additional services and surveys have been introduced. These include extending investigations to cover the fish farms of the Changhua Aquaculture Development Association, coastal water channels, and groundwater wells. In response to stakeholder feedback from the USR (University Social Responsibility) program, new services now include support for golden clam operators and surveys of sampling areas, including rivers upstream, midstream, and downstream used for fish farm water sources. These efforts aim to ensure the safety of aquaculture operations and coastal water resources. Related activity photos are shown in Figure 1.
