Though this is the most expensive species restoration program in Taiwan's history, compared to funding for other types of construction in Taiwan, conservation appropriations are grossly inadequate. Add to this that the agencies involved all look after their own priorities first, and the result is that the salmon restoration project can deal only with the symptoms, not the fundamental problems.
即使是台灣有史以來最昂貴的保育計畫，比起其他建設，保育經費其實仍然杯水車薪，加上各單位間的本位主義，櫻花鉤吻鮭的計畫，也註定一開始只能治標多於治本。
