[Reporter Cai Zongxian/Pingtung Report] The Kenting National Park Management Office (hereinafter referred to as the Reclamation Management Office) is the largest conservation agency in the area. Recently, a diver discovered that a hundred kilograms of cement blocks with floating balls fixed on the sea surface of Houbi Lake were thrown into the area. In the coral reef area, many underwater coral reefs have been damaged, which makes diving enthusiasts distressed. The Reclamation Management Office explained that the cement block was originally placed on the sand, but it was displaced due to the recent strong wind and waves. damage.

"You should be more careful with precious coral reefs!" said a diving instructor surnamed Cai. He has lived in Kenting for a long time. When he took his students to dive in Houbi Lake last week, he saw huge blocks of cement and ropes tied to them constantly hitting the originally beautiful coral reefs. rock area.

The diving instructor surnamed Cai sighed. The huge cement block smashed the original coral, and the floating ball was tied to the line. The line was directly dropped on the coral and dragged without being arranged. The construction method of fixing the floating ball is very "amateur", causing huge damage to the environment. It was even more surprising to know that the destruction was set up by the reclamation management office. Could it be that there is no environment-friendly construction method for the state-level conservation agency?

Regarding the criticism of destroying the coral reefs, Xu Shuguo, deputy director of the Reclamation Management Office, explained that the main purpose of setting up the floating ball is that in recent years, there have been water activities and diving operators have inadvertently invaded the waterway. It was designed to be placed on the sandy ground, but recently, the strong wind and waves caused the cement block to shift and impact the coral reef. We have already sent staff to adjust and fix it, and thank the enthusiastic diving instructor for the notification.
