Dongsha Atoll Marine National Park (MNP)
Dongsha Atoll Marine National Park (MNP)
An English version of the website of MNP is very informative (http://dongsha.cpami.gov.tw/en/ ). All the past reports commissioned by the MNP are available in English abstracts and Chinese full versions. You are also welcome to download an English version of ppt https://www.dropbox.com/s/7c7ee5ftmwo26hy/Dongsha%20Atoll%20Marine%20Station%20English.pptx introducing the atoll and DARS.
The whole Dongsha Atoll is within the border of the national park. Collections on the island and the atoll require prior approval. You could go to the application webpage of MNP (http://marine.cpami.gov.tw/chinese/index.php?option=com_applications&view=research&Itemid=24). However, it may be more practical to ask your Taiwanese associates to fill the application form. The application procedure takes 5-14 working days, depending on where you do the collections. You are supposed to provide and justify all the sampling details.
YOUTUBE Dongsha Atoll documentary: More than 20 documentaries about Dongsha Atoll and islands of Marine National Park are available in youtube. You could use “dongsha 99” as keywords to find them.
