Yang Ching-nan says optimistically, "Although Taiwanese are generally unfamiliar with the ocean, surrounded by it as they are they have always felt the attraction and the call of the sea very strongly. The NMMBA can play an educative role and one of exploration."
楊慶南樂觀表示，雖然國人對海洋普遍陌生，但在四面環海下，海洋的誘惑和呼喚始終很強烈，海生館正好可以適時扮演教育、探索的角色。
