In Taiwan, coral reefs are found in the northeast corner, the east coast, Kenting, Penghu, Green Island, Orchid Island, and Hsiao Liuchiu. Because Hsiao Liuchiu, Green Island and Orchid Island are unpolluted, with strong ocean currents and clear water and without rivers dumping silt into the sea, they support coral and abundant communities of fish.
在台灣，東北角、東海岸、墾丁，和澎湖、綠島、蘭嶼、小琉球等離島都是珊瑚礁分佈區，其中小琉球、綠島、蘭嶼等海域由於汙染少、海流強勁、海水澄淨，而且沒有大型陸上河川流入海中帶來泥沙，因此珊瑚礁及魚群都很茂密。
