Following the crisis of settlement preservation in Magang fishing Village and the controversy over the yacht marina in Maoao Bay, one cannot help but ask: what on earth is going on in the northeast corner?

Since Wu Den-Yi was premier of the Executive Yuan, he put forward the "Action Plan for improving the livelihood of the ordinary people." in the past few years, tourism has flourished, and the northeast coast is rich in natural landscape resources to provide development potential, which has indeed attracted a large number of businessmen to increase their investment. operators wantonly buy land around the settlement to arouse the residents' sense of crisis. The scenic spot in the northeast corner is in the conflict between the two location functions of "developing tourism" and "ecological conservation", which leads to the conflict between attracting investment and promoting tourism development and the existing fishing village settlement and ecological conservation functions. Is there any chance of reconciliation and symbiosis?

Hainan's heart: people in the fishing village do not expect to make a fortune, please give us basic respect!

In the afternoon, the weather in Maoao was sunny and the sea breeze was clingy. Brother Ah Quan, a senior "sea man", had just grabbed the lobster from the sea and his face was flushed. Brother Ah Quan, who has been a "sea man" for 50 years, firmly said that when the yacht marina was built, Maoao would be "finished." the topography of Maoao Bay is like an egg, providing a flat terrain and providing a stable and warm bay for schools of fish to take temporary refuge, so that schools of fish can breed here.

If the yacht marina is built, Maoao Bay will be a "dead end". The bay stream will be blocked, the stream will have nowhere to discharge sand, and eventually the ecology of Maoao Bay will be wiped out. At that time, what will happen to the livelihood of these 50 or 60 fishermen living on Maoao Bay?

At the Legislative Yuan on July 25, Ah Quan and other fishermen sat in the back row angry and helpless. When many media came to the Legislative Yuan for lengthy questions and answers, the fishermen did not have a chance to speak. But when he returned to Maoao Bay, Ah Quan naturally showed a sense of confidence in the sea. He stressed: "the Fisheries Department says that it wants a protected area, that it wants to cultivate fisheries, that it wants to restore marine resources, and tells us not to catch fish in Maoao Bay. People think it makes sense. However, the air duct office also said that this is a tourist area and that it is necessary to build a yacht marina and allow consortia to invest in hotels. Is it really hard for people to swallow? "

The anti-nuclear unsung hero, the ocean

In the evening, the fishermen were starting the sampan to set sail, and in front of the Liyang Palace of the belief center, they met brother Ah Quan, carrying lobster with a bumper harvest in the morning, ready to sell it to the seafood store. Brother Ah Quan waved to his friends who left Hong Kong and told me that it was the season of "soft silk".

After the interview, A Quan revealed to reporters that when the struggle against the anti-nuclear movement was fierce, the young man started the engine twice to drive a sampan to surround the fourth nuclear power plant and prevent the nuclear fourth unit from coming ashore. Brother Ah Quan and other contemporaries of Hainan were once unsung heroes of anti-nuclear four. in the face of an unfair world, they moved forward with hope and optimism with the power given by the sea.

The close connection between Maoao people and the sea has deeply touched Lin Kuimiao, a literary worker who helped preserve the settlements of Magang and Maoao. She believes that in the past, cultural assets attached importance to hardware on land, but the marine culture of Maoao and Magang can precisely make up for the absence of Taiwan's cultural assets.

Lin Kui-Miao believes that the so-called preservation culture should not only focus on the hardware of the settlement or evaluate the integrity of the building group, but more importantly, how to maintain a lifestyle that is close to the environment:

"the relationship between Maoao Bay and Maoao villagers, fishing village culture is the way of life for human beings to adapt to the marine environment, and it can be said that residents are the soul of fishing village culture! If the consortium wants to invest or the government wants to develop, it will be empty talk if it does not respect the local culture of the residents and talk about preserving the culture of the fishing village or attaching importance to the ecological environment. "
