The aquarium has also been engaged in a long-term project, advised by Chen Yi-chun, a professor at National Taiwan Ocean University, to release turtles once or twice a year into the wild and record their life histories. Such activities illustrate the aquarium's research and conservation functions.
水族館在與海洋大學海生所程一駿教授的長期諮詢下，每年進行一至二次的海龜野放，並記錄野放海龜的生活史，以製成海龜族譜，發揮水族館的研究保育功能。
