Su Cheng-tien, superintendent of the ECNSAA, points out that not only is the coral at Green Island even more beautiful than that at Kenting, Taiwan's beach vacation hot spot, they discovered--after commissioning the International Marina Consultants of Australia to do a survey--that there are even more varieties of coral around Lu Tao than in the Land Down Under's world-renowned Great Barrier Reef.
東海岸風景特定區管理處長蘇成田表示，綠島的珊瑚景觀不但比台灣最負盛名的墾丁美麗，他們還曾委託澳洲的國際遊艇港規劃顧問公司做研究，竟發現綠島海底珊瑚種類，比澳洲享譽國際的大堡礁海岸還多！
