Event Description	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. The 7th Conference is organized by the Taiwan Coral Reef Society in collaboration with the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium. Held biennially, this conference provides an important opportunity for coral reef scholars and students across the Taiwan Strait and neighboring regions to exchange research findings and foster collaboration. This year’s conference will take place at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, adjacent to Kenting National Park—a location renowned for its world-class aquarium and proximity to natural coral reef environments. This unique setting offers both real-world and display-based perspectives of coral reef ecosystems. In addition to academic and conservation research presentations, the conference will feature field excursions, providing participants with the chance to directly experience and explore coral reef environments. All coral reef researchers, conservationists, and marine resource managers from across the region are warmly invited to attend.

In addition to invited presentations, the event will include oral sessions and poster exhibitions. A student paper competition will also be held to encourage young scholars to engage in scientific communication and research sharing. Field excursions will be arranged for participants to observe coral reef ecosystems firsthand, enhancing understanding of current research and conservation challenges. Public Outreach and Education To promote marine science education and awareness, the conference will invite several distinguished experts to deliver popular science talks and research lectures.Students and researchers are encouraged to submit posters and abstracts related to coral reef biology, ecology, and marine environmental science.The goal is to cultivate a new generation of scientists committed to coral reef research and conservation.
