For example, from 1990 onward there was a vogue for "wave-wading" on low-tide walkways. But the walkways were laid out without any thought of conservation, so that "wading" turned into "trampling" of the seabed. Within three years the walkways had turned the areas where they were located into barren exercise yards from which all the fish had been frightened away.
以民國 79 年興盛一時的海底步道──「踏浪」──為例，既沒有動線的規劃也沒有保育的觀念，果不其然，「踏浪」變成了「踏爛」，不出 3 年就把海域踏成了操場，周邊水域魚群走避，一片荒寂。
