As Water Activities Resume, Kenting National Park Headquarters to Strengthen Ocean Conservation Advocacy and Law Enforcement
With the COVID-19 pandemic gradually subsiding, the number of visitors going to the Kenting National Park in early June showed a growth of about 50% when compared with the same period in May.
Recently, there have been incidents of visitors stepping on and crushing the rose coral reefs when engaging in water activities. The Kenting National Park Headquarters (KNPHQ) would like to once again remind the public that any damage to the coral reefs, whether intentional or through negligence, will be punishable according to the National Park Law.
When engaging in recreational activities in the sea, please dress in full equipment and gear, or have a certified instructor to accompany you, so we call all protect the beautiful environment and ecosystem together. The KNPHQ and the Eighth Division, Seventh Special Police Corps, will schedule weekly inspections of the waters and land areas to check whether there is any violation of the "Kenting National Park Sea Recreational Activities Management Guidelines". In addition, they will also focus on the inspection of environmental damage, and if found guilty, the perpetrator will be immediately fined.
We welcome all visitors to come to the Kenting National Park and create beautiful memories to bring home with you, whether you go hiking, look for waterfalls in the mountain, or participate in water activities.
