Currently the Taiwan Fisheries Bureau is actively promoting recreational seafood consumption, for two reasons: For one thing, the new two-day weekend has brought with it greater demand for leisure alternatives. For another, after Taiwan enters the World Trade Organization, the coastal fishing industry will face competition from tariff-free imports. Thus the TFB has established seafood direct-sales centers in a number of fishing ports in the north and west of Taiwan.
隨著週休二日所帶動的休閒風氣，加上台灣沿近海漁業面臨加入「世界貿易組織」之後，進口海鮮免關稅的衝擊，漁業局也積極推動休閒漁業，陸續在北部的龜吼、富基、碧砂、烏石港，西部的竹圍、新竹、枋寮、梧棲、興達等多處漁港成立漁貨直銷中心。
