Research overview
The Taiwan government announced the "Ocean Policy" in 2001, declaring Taiwan a maritime nation. The "National Ocean Policy Guidelines" were developed and finalized in 2004 and 2006. In 2008, the "Ocean Policy" urged actively supporting the "blue revolution, revitalizing the country by the ocean" and offered a policy framework of "taking use of Taiwan and pushing towards maritime power." The Ocean Affair Council was founded in April 2019 with the mission of "enhancing the legal system of the ocean," "boosting the marine industry," and "increasing the energy of marine research." The Ocean Affairs Council released a revised edition of the National Ocean Policy White Paper in 2020, highlighting the significance of Taiwan's maritime industry's development.

It is anticipated that this report will give a forward-looking, comprehensive review of policy and feasibility.
