Taiwan was once ranked one of the top fishery producers in the world. The survival of the island's fishery industry in recent years has faced challenge since joining WTO and due to factors such as overfishing, fish stock depletion, and global climate change. Under the competitive trend of global trade liberalization, Taiwan has made the commitment to implement tariff concessions for fisheries products, thus the importing fisheries products, based on the advantage of lower cost, will seriously hamper the local fishery development. On account of this adverse situation, relevant fisheries agencies in Taiwan need to expedite the process of transformation and redevelopment of these 230 fishing ports to recreate an economically vibrant prospect. However, the development of a specific fishing port depends much on its geographical location and internal and external characteristics, and each fishing port is unique such that the development is different case by case. In this research the possible functions of the fishing ports are examined, and a framework based on the concept of value-added system of labor, goods, and service is proposed. Using this framework, functions of fishing ports can be classified into three stages—traditional and distributional, reprocessing and eatery, and tourism, cultural and experiencing, and four functional categories. Following the analysis, the timing of the redevelopment and principles of spatial restructuring of the fishing ports are looked upon with key criteria assessed and coupling management strategies formulated. |
