Premier Chen inspects Dongshi Wharf’s NT$175M upgrade
Taiwan Premier Chen Chien-jen visited Dongshi Fisherman’s Wharf in Chiayi County to inspect the completion of the water environmental enhancement project. The project, which cost NT$175 million, was funded in part by the Forward-looking Infrastructure Development Program. Chen expressed hopes for the local oyster industry to establish a traceability system similar to Japan’s Seto Inland Sea oyster industry. Dongshi Fisherman’s Wharf is an important fishing port and tourist destination known for its oysters. The wharf faced challenges such as land subsidence and pier damage, but improvement measures proposed by Chiayi County Magistrate Weng Chang-liang received central government funding. The Fisheries Agency has allocated NT$2.068 billion for water environmental infrastructure projects across Taiwan, with Dongshi serving as an example.2023/11/25 17:14 -
