Sea turtles are ancient and long-lived marine creatures that have been revered as sacred animals in folklore and traditional beliefs. Their symbolic image can be found everywhere—from temples to marketplaces. Beyond their cultural significance, their fascinating life history captures the imagination: sea turtles migrate thousands of kilometers between feeding and nesting grounds, and many mysteries still surround their early life stages. From ecology to culture, their story is both rich and inspiring. Spiritually, people pray to sea turtles for safety and good fortune—but in reality, can sea turtles themselves remain safe?

Since its inauguration in 2005 by the Biodiversity Research Center of Academia Sinica, the Cross-Strait Coral Reef Conference has become a key platform for academic exchange among coral reef researchers across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Mainland China.

This year, the Society will invite several domestic experts to give lectures on marine science and environmental conservation. The presentations promise to be engaging and informative. We warmly invite senior members, regular members, associates, students, and all interested colleagues to join and participate in this grand event.
