Taiwan is an island abounding in many rich resources, none more fundamental to its culture than seafood. Fish following the ocean currents are harvested by communities of courageous fishermen toiling at sea, while the nation’s scientific experts are working hard to develop fish farming technologies and maintain the marine ecology.

The National Geographic Channel (NGC) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) have together produced a documentary series entitled Taiwan to the World 5: Island of Fish, which brings to the screen fascinating tales of Taiwanese people, the fish they hunt, and the oceans—the home of their prey. This is the fifth season of this highly acclaimed series on Taiwan.

While the fish are a resource provided by nature, the courageous fishermen working in the harsh ocean environment represent the tenacious spirit of the Taiwanese people.
