Faced with the value of green turtles in terms of research, and the fact that their numbers in Taiwan are only decreasing, researchers hope to establish a green turtle reserve around Wangan Island. And they also have the support of the Council of Agriculture, the ROC's ecological conservation authority.
針對綠蠵龜在研究上的價值，與在台灣的數量只減不增，研究人員在望安設「綠蠵龜保護區」的想法應運而生，也得到生態保育主管單位農委會的支持。
