Abstract

Taiwan is bounded by the Taiwan Strait, South China Sea, East China Sea and Pacific Ocean. It has been well developed for research in the field of marine science and technology for decades. However, the research of underwater technology is a new subject for challenge recently in Taiwan. In this paper, the status of current research related underwater technology in Taiwan is introduced through several topics, which include the oceanic characteristics of Taiwan, development of ROV and AUV, underwater acoustic investigation, offshore aquaculture and application of deep sea water.
