Chou Lien-siang, a professor of zoology at National Taiwan University and founder of the Taiwan Cetacean Stranding Network, notes that many cetaceans migrate through the waters around Taiwan, so these animals frequently are beached or accidentally caught in fishing nets. More specialized personnel and resources are needed to give shelter to injured cetaceans and to help them return to the sea.
成立「中華鯨豚擱淺處理中心」的台大動物系教授周蓮香表示，許多鯨豚動物迴游於台灣四周海域，常常出現海豚擱淺、誤闖漁網的情形，為了收容受傷的鯨豚，甚至幫助牠們回到大海，必須有更多專業人員與資源投入。
