The bay has become a popular destination for diving and stand-up paddle boarding, leading to confrontations between tourists and fishers, the office said. People swim in the waters off Longdong in New Taipei City on Sept. 19. Longdong Community Development Association director Chang Tzu-chiang (張自強) said that diving centers were encouraging their customers to dive in local fishing areas, posing a danger to fishers and divers alike. The government needs to enact measures to help keep tourists and fishers safe, he said. She also called on authorities to step up patrols and dissemination of information to tell tourists, tourism companies and fishers about the new boundaries.
