Penghu Fisher Association, Fishery cooperative in Yangming Village, Taiwan.
Description
The Penghu Fisher Association is a fishery cooperative in Yangming Village that manages fishing operations and coordinates resources for local fishermen throughout the Penghu archipelago off Taiwan's western coast. It operates from a headquarters on New Life Road and serves fishermen who work the waters of the Taiwan Strait.
History
The association was founded in 1910 during a period when Taiwan's fishing industry was becoming more organized and commercial. This timing marked a shift from individual fishing practices toward collective resource management in the region.
Culture
Members practice time-honored fishing techniques that you can see demonstrated at local seafood festivals, where they share how they work with the sea and prepare their daily catches.
Practical
The headquarters offers training programs, equipment sharing, and market support for registered fishermen in the cooperative. Visitors should plan to see the most activity during local market days or festival seasons, when fishing operations and community participation are most visible.
Did you know?
The cooperative balances commercial fishing with marine conservation efforts in the Taiwan Strait. This intersection of traditional livelihoods and resource protection shows how fishing communities navigate both economic needs and environmental responsibility.
