The center is located in Chenggong Township, which historically holds the highest concentration of sailfish landings in Taiwan.
It specializes in educating visitors about the Kuroshio Current, a significant warm western boundary current that heavily influences the marine ecosystem of eastern Taiwan.
The facility is integrated directly into the infrastructure of a functioning yacht harbor, allowing for observations of commercial fishing vessels and recreational sailboats.
Exhibits often feature the local 'ghost fishing net' recovery projects intended to mitigate seafloor habitat destruction.
The Marine Environmental Education Center of Chenggong Yacht Marina serves as a regional hub for maritime conservation and ocean literacy in Taitung County, Taiwan. Situated within the Chenggong Yacht Marina complex, the facility focuses on the ecology of the Kuroshio Current and the local marine biodiversity of the Pacific coast. It provides interactive displays highlighting the impacts of plastic pollution and the importance of sustainable fishing practices. The center functions as an educational branch of local environmental initiatives aimed at school groups and the general public. Visitors can examine specimens and artifacts related to regional deep-sea fishing traditions. The site promotes the protection of threatened marine life specific to the waters surrounding the nearby Sanxiantai scenic area.
