The coast of Crescent Bay in Zhubei is severely eroded, retreating 15 meters a year. Experts call for a return to professionalism

Coastal erosion in Crescent Bay, Zhubei, Hsinchu County is serious, shrinking by 15 meters in the past year, far exceeding last year's average of 2.81 meters. Former Minister of the Interior Li Hongyuan and Ocean University Assistant Professor Qiu Yujia pointed out that the lack of overall planning for the construction of concrete Internet celebrity attractions has led to imbalances in the coastline and aggravated wave hollowing, and called on the government to use professional engineering sand cultivation to slow down wave energy, rather than political myths. Hsinchu County Mayor candidate Xu Xinying concluded by emphasizing the need for long-term sand cultivation projects to preserve the beach landscape and ecology.
