Description of Our Community: In recent years, Taoyuan Fishermen Association strives for the funds and expands facilities of fishing ports actively to look after fisherman's livelihood, including: building the north bank breakwater, the sea view corridor, and the bridge across the port and establishing the direct selling centre of fishing goods, seafood street, and the activities of parks directly to households, etc. Now Zhuwei Fishing Port has a scale of a leisure fishing port and is well known in Taipei and Taoyuan. During weekends, many people visit Zhuwei Fishing Port, which helps the economic growth of the fishing village and also increase fisherman’s income. In the future, after Zhuwei Rainbow Bridge and Zhuwei Leisure Fishing Port are established, Zhuwei Fishing Port will become a port with pluralistic function including both leisure fishery and ocean recreational activities, and Zhuwei Fishing Port will become the model for fishing ports of pluralistic function.
Project Description: Zhuwei Fishing Port is famous in Taoyuan. Zhuwei Fishing Port is located at the artificial harbor and the exit of the eastern river, and the waters are vast. The people of Qing Dynasty depended on Zhuwei Fishing Port for trading to the ports of Xiamen, Fuzhou, and Shantou. Zhuwei Fishing Port was very prosperous at that time. However, in the recent years, the pollution in Taoyuan ocean is very serious. The fishery, therefore, gradually degenerates. Recently because of the efforts of the government and local business, now Zhuwei Fishing Port has a scale of a leisure fishing port and is well known in Taipei and Taoyuan. In our project, we hope to know more about the development of local fishery by collecting the interviews and the information of the history and the fisherman association of Zhuwei Fishing Port, the tour map, and the religion in Zhuwei.
