National Cheng Kung University Marine Biology and Cetacean Research Center
Nature or Ecology Education Center
The National Cheng Kung University Marine Biology and Cetacean Research Center, located in Annan District, Tainan City, is an environmental education center which merged 3 different fields: research, education and cetacean stranding rescue. Thus, we provide environmental education courses related to cetacean conservation.
The main exhibition room “Nanying Marine Conservation Education Center” has a special skeleton collection of a sperm whale which exploded on Ximen Road, Tainan in 2004 and other cetacean specimens. The visitors will learn not only the evolution and present state of cetaceans but the human impact on the marine environment. Furthermore, we will introduce the latest researches and the preparation of bone specimens to the visitors. We have decades of experience in cetacean stranding rescue, therefore we offer the related course to introduce the correct process to deal with a stranding site to the visitors.
