With great support of the University President Ying-Yao Cheng and the Dean of the College of Marine Sciences Hsien-Hua Lee, Chairman Chih-Chuang Liaw prepared a renovation plan together with 11 teachers conducting research in the fields of marine biology, ecosystems and biotechnology. Operating for so many years, the Specimen Exhibition Gallery could not resist the effects of time: erosion, fading of colors and even damage. Over 313 schools, primary and secondary (a total number of 18,613 visitors), have visited the Gallery. It has been operating for over 25 years so far. The gallery is open to outside visitors, providing education for primary and secondary schools, educational institutions and organized groups. Over 700 specimens of marine organisms were exhibited, including crustaceans, such as crabs, shrimps and hermit crabs echinoderms, such as sea urchins, starfish and brittle stars and mollusk, fish, coral, algae and minerals etc. All the exhibited samples of marine organisms were collected and produced over the years by the South Coast Ecological Research Team, which consisted of teachers and undergraduate students of DMBR. The Department of Marine Biotechnology and Resources (DMBR) at NSYSU established the first Specimen Exhibition Gallery in July 1994 and the second in November 1998. It provides thematic, in-depth and extensive marine education organized groups and educational institutions can file an application to visit the Gallery. Eleven teachers of the College of Marine Sciences created a completely new Marine Biotechnology and Biodiversity Exhibition Gallery, divided into three rooms and displaying over 700 exhibits.
