The event attracted dozens of people from across the country, including surfers who frequent the area, and together they cleaned up a total of 165.5kg of waste near the port.
Taiwan Environmental Info Association member Sun Hsiu-ju (孫秀如) said they are worried that construction could damage the coral reefs in the ocean near the shore, because they have already witnessed large amounts of soil from the construction site washing into the ocean on rainy days.
They urged that the construction projects be halted temporarily and that environmental impact evaluations of the coral reefs be completed before construction is resumed.
