Taiwan District including Taiwan island, Kinmen and Matsu and Penghu Islands, Green Island, Orchid Island and the Diaoyutai Islands and other islands, an area of 36,000 square kilometers. Taiwan, its 1,240 kilometers coastline, due to coastal fisheries resources overexploited and declining, so up until now, we have the policy of placing artificial reefs since 1774 and had developed for more than 30 years. Using the policy of putting artificial reef, to realize our people’s dependence on marine resources, and based on giving back to locals, and facilitate prosperity, and protect marine ecological environment and to fulfill social responsibility, in recent years actively participating foster and restore Taiwan’s coastal fisheries resources. According to the faith of promoting resources recycling and the sustainability of the fisheries, using waste cement poles and the waste tires and turn that into artificial reef, and the ship wreck reef, and warship wreck reef, and large steel reef, and place at public announce reef area that close to the fish farm, to increase and expand fisheries resources, to rehabilitate marine ecology, are getting mature. This research found several of the following conclusions: (1) in the analysis of catch, because of changes in food chain caused native fishes’ disappearance, however, you can see the catch statistics in recent years, inshore fisheries statistics slightly increased. (2) the measure to foster resources, and behavioral changes of the species and to place artificial reefs can be found in the conclusions of the reef on the design and material of the future may consult on large reefs from different countries and its special shapes. (3) the vision of ocean ranch, changes in relative abundance and distribution of forms, sea ranching, recreation, tourism and reefs on the ecological impact is still more research is required. (4) the development of tourism on the development of economic benefits of tourism and underwater, to facilitate the development of tourism and leisure, and to promote local tourism income can be increased. (5) environmental issues, for natural ecosystems, and alter benthic habitat and increase the impact of fish populations, but in the long-term cost is quite high, in the study of these costs must be taken into account.
