The ocean has always been my happy place. So many of my best memories are spent by the sea. In my short life I have watched it deteriorate. I remember as a child I would spend hours collecting clams everyday after school at the beach with not a single piece of rubbish or plastic. Now, those clams are no longer there. Our beaches are filled with plastic pollution and the animals that call it their home are vanishing rapidly.
Spreading the word to others and encouraging people to support ocean preservation organizations is so important, not only for me but for my children and theirs. This is not impossible if we act now and together. Say no to single use plastics, use environmentally friendly products that don’t pollute our seas, don’t touch or disturb marine wildlife. I would like to believe that if everyone does their part we can reverse the damage we have done.
Visit La Mer Blue Heart Ocean Protection Exhibition at ifc Mall atrium from 20-23 June for interactive experience with our ocean, and discover what we can do to get involved and help to preserve our precious seas for generations to come.

美國在台協會上週歡送了我們有史以來的第一位客座科學研究員黃培宜博士。來自美國環保署的黃博士,過去兩個月來幫助我們找尋美台在海洋科學方面的潛在合作領域。在短短的兩個月內,她和200多個台灣學者、決策者、與非營利機構會面,討論美台的合作機會。美國在台協會很期待能在黃博士為我們打下的基礎上,和台灣進行合作,保護我們的海洋資源。我們也希望很快再看到黃博士回到台灣!

Last week AIT bid a fond farewell to our first-ever Science Fellow, Dr. Pai-yei Whung of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Dr. Whung spent the last two months helping AIT identify areas of potential U.S.-Taiwan cooperation on oceans science. During her time at AIT, Dr. Whung consulted with over 200 Taiwan ocean scholars, policy makers, and non-profit organizations on US-Taiwan partnership opportunities. We at AIT look forward to building on Dr. Whung’s efforts and working with Taiwan to protect marine resources. We hope to see her back in Taiwan soon!

全世界現在正面臨許多與海洋和氣候變遷相關的重大挑戰,而這些挑戰需要全人類一同來因應。台灣很幸運地擁有很多海洋方面的研究人員和組織,他們都非常希望能在海洋污染、海洋酸化、海洋保護區、和珊瑚礁的保育和海洋生物多樣性等領域貢獻一己之力;正因如此,也讓台灣成為對抗海洋問題的堅強夥伴。美國在台協會的客座科學研究員黃培宜博士 ( Pai-Yei Whung ) 最近訪問了南台灣,和多所大學以及海洋生物博物館分享她在美國環保署工作的經驗,並介紹美國的《我們的海洋》計(http://www.state.gov/e/oes/ocns/opa/ourocean/index.htm)。黃博士談到了台灣海洋科學研究方面的許多心血結晶,包括長期的海岸酸度觀測站已經蒐集了三十年以上的數據。借重台灣在海洋議題方面的專才,再加上區域和全球夥伴的齊心合作,我們可以讓改變開始發生。你覺得台灣和美國可以在哪些環境及海洋的問題上進行合作?
The world faces many crucial challenges related to oceans and climate change, and none of us can solve them alone. Luckily, Taiwan is a strong partner on ocean issues, with many researchers and organizations eager to make a difference in areas such as marine pollution, ocean and coastal acidification, marine protected areas, and maintaining coral reef and marine biodiversity. Recently AIT Science Fellow Dr. Pai-Yei Whung, traveled to southern Taiwan to talk with colleagues from several universities and at the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium, sharing her experiences working in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and introducing the U.S. Our Ocean Initiative. Dr. Whung spoke of many “jewels” in Taiwan’s ocean sciences efforts, including a long-term monitoring station for coastal ocean acidity in Taiwan, which has collected over thirty years of data! With Taiwan’s help, along with cooperation from other regional and global partners, we can begin to make a difference. What environmental and ocean problems do you see that Taiwan and the U.S. could work together to solve?
