Coastal Protection Area

Yunlin County Government; Kouhu Township Office, Yunlin County

The wetland is situated at north of Neotiauwan River. It extends north to the intersection of Provincial Highway 17 and Yun Township Road 144, south to the river levee, and east to the circle route west of Chenglong Village.

Originally a farmland, the wetland was severely damaged by Typhoon Wayne (1986) and Typhoon Herbert (1996), which caused long periods of flooding and water surges, rendering the area unsuitable for farming. The area has become salt-marsh wetland after several years of evolution and contains marshes, ponds, fish ponds, ditches, and some portions of unfarmed rice fields.

There are many aqua-culture ponds in the wetland raising Chanos chanos, Penaeus monodon,and Mugil cephalus. In September 2006, after many years of absence, Oryzias latipes was seen again. The plants include Bolboschoenus maritimus,etc..

Black-faced Spoonbill.

Little Tern, Saunders' Gull, Common Kestrel, Painted Snipe, and Bolboschoenus maritimus.

Brown Shrike, Eastern Collared Pratincole.

The land continues to subside, and the Water Resources Agency uses the farm to install detention ponds.
