Although every agency working in the Chichiawan Stream watershed has its particular mission to fulfill, use and management of the steep slopes along the upstream portion of the Chichiawan should not be overly diversified.

If efforts are made to simultaneously develop agriculture, recreation, and electricity generation, then the salmon must be sacrificed.
雖然每個在七家灣溪的事業單位都有自己要達成利用資源的單一目標，但地形陡峻的大甲溪上游，資源的經營管理，原本就不該太多元化，因為它不是經濟生產價值最高的地方，如果要在此發展農業、觀光、發電，什麼都要兼顧，國寶魚也只有被犧牲掉了。
