From June 3rd to 6th, in an effort to continue the CPAMI's effort in maintaining international knowledge exchange on wetland conservation and promotional efforts, the Agency sent a team, led by Deputy Director Dong Yong Wang of the Urban and Rural Department Branch, to attend the 2012 annual meeting of the Society of Wetland Scientists in Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. The team also visited the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the Everglades National Park. The Agency will continue to improve the quality of wetland research in Taiwan and strengthen the basis of wetland management and international collaboration.

The CPAMI team departed for this year's wetland international exchange visitation on June 1st, and returned home on June 10th. CPAMI stated that the trip was fruitful and beneficial in increasing the research quality of wetland studies, and will act as an important strategy to strengthen wetland management and work as an interface for international collaboration. The Agency will continue to improve the quality of wetland research in Taiwan and strengthen international collaborations, increasing the importance and visibility of Taiwan's wetlands in a global context.
