Kaohsiung, May 1 (CNA reporter Hung Hsueh-kuang) The National Academy of Marine Research and the National Park Service of the Ministry of the Interior today signed a memorandum of understanding. The two parties will introduce advanced technologies such as marine remote sensing and underwater vehicle monitoring to build a "digital twin" system for national park waters, declaring that marine conservation efforts are moving towards a smart era.
To implement President Lai Ching-te's vision of promoting the "AI New Ten Major Constructions," the National Academy of Marine Research and the National Park Service of the Ministry of the Interior held a signing ceremony today at the Kaohsiung Public Library Main Branch. Witnessed by Minister of the Interior Liu Shih-fang and Deputy Minister of the Ocean Affairs Council Wu Hsin-hsiu, National Academy of Marine Research Director Chen Wei-ling and National Park Service Director Wang Cheng-chi signed the agreement on behalf of both parties. This inter-agency technical collaboration aims to implement data innovation through "smart government" and "data governance," ensuring data security and conservation innovation proceed hand in hand.
Chen Wei-ling stated in her speech that cross-departmental cooperation is a key milestone in enhancing Taiwan's professional capabilities in marine governance. Through the deep integration of the National Academy of Marine Research's advanced scientific technology and the National Park Service's habitat management practices, rigorous scientific research can be transformed into concrete marine policy guidelines. In the future, both parties will continue to promote mutual resource sharing, and through close collaboration between public and private sectors and academic institutions, jointly protect Taiwan's precious blue territory, laying a solid foundation for moving towards a sustainable marine nation.
The National Academy of Marine Research issued a press release at noon today, stating that the academy is currently executing several key national projects, including "National Full Marine Area Basic Survey and Big Data Construction," "Taiwan and South China Sea Marine Digital Twin Development," and promoting "Overall Marine Health Check and AI Applications." Through this MOU signing, both parties will engage in in-depth scientific research dialogue and practical collaboration for national park waters.
The core highlight of this cooperation is the comprehensive introduction of advanced marine remote sensing technology, underwater vehicle monitoring, and precise marine numerical forecasting. Both parties will be committed to building a "digital twin" system for national park waters, transforming top scientific research energy into a driving force for ecological progress.
The National Academy of Marine Research will invest resources long-term to systematically monitor the marine environment and ecology of national park waters, and jointly promote the integrated development of marine numerical forecasting and digital twin technology. This project can transform vast observational data into in-depth research results with early warning and simulation functions.
At the same time, both parties will also establish an inter-departmental monitoring data sharing mechanism, fully implementing Article 12 of the Marine Basic Act, regarding the statutory goal of establishing a national marine information system and sharing platform. (Editor: Lin Shu-hui) 1150501
