Green Sea Turtle Conservation Center Introduction
Beside the Tanmen Old Port, there is a streamlining building situated to the southeast of Wangan. The center is well-equipped with facilities and currently features different sections: an introduction area for green turtles, an ecology display area about turtles and human life, an area introducing seabirds, and information on tourism in the South China Sea. At the entrance of the exhibition hall, there is a special stone tablet called "Haoshan Hall," which records how the gentry of the Wangan area raised funds to protect sea turtles and farming oxen, establishing a regulation to reward residents who show compassion for life and impose heavy penalties on violators, demonstrating both grace and authority. Today, this inscription serves as an important testament to the early ancestors' efforts in the conservation of the sea turtle ecology. Upon entering the hall, visitors can fully appreciate the natural ecology of Wangan, where terns and various conservation species make appearances. Most importantly, the "green turtles" have various information on distinguishing characteristics and distribution environments within the exhibit, as well as insights into sea turtles and local blessing activities like "Shangyuan Qigu", marine ecology, and historical culture. The purpose of building the center is to provide equipment and resources for academic institutions to conduct research work on-site, while the establishment of the "Green Turtle Conservation Center" not only provides a perfect research station for green turtle ecological studies in Wangan, Penghu, but also serves as a local ecological education center. The entire exhibition is designed from an environmentally-oriented and situational concept, offering an emotionally and intellectually stimulating ecological education environment. Through biological models combined with interactive operations with the audience, learning can be filled with surprises and enjoyable satisfaction, thereby achieving the function of education through entertainment.
