National Cheng Kung University has always focused on the current status and future of water resource ecology, executing numerous research projects:

1. The NCKU Dolphin and Whale Rescue Team is the most important marine mammal rescue team in southern Taiwan and symbolizes the university's commitment to biodiversity conservation. It not only raises awareness about the ocean and the protection of whales and dolphins but also offers guided tours that include simulated rescue activities, allowing visitors to experience the mission of rescue and conservation firsthand.

2. The NCKU Marine Biology and Cetacean Research Center is dedicated to the rescue of stranded whales and dolphins, subsequent care, and related research. Its goal is to recruit more volunteers for rescue efforts and to raise public awareness about whale and dolphin conservation, working together to protect marine ecosystems.
