For the past 13 years, an eco-conscious diving coach has spent more than 1 million NT dollars on an artificial reef in Taiwans northeastern coast for the conservation of neritic squids. Over the years, countless squids managed to survive thanks to his efforts.

Typhoon Morakat caused a great deal of damage to the marine ecosystem, and the number of natural coral reefs has been on the decline for years.

This artificial reef is currently serving as a delivery room for female squid between the months of April and September.

Grown squid can be seen swimming back and forth in front of the reef, while baby squid can be seen jumping around inside the semi-transparent eggs.

Slowly, the squid break through the eggs and enter the water. Mr. Kuo, who has dedicated himself to marine conservation for the past 13 years, often goes diving to keep an eye on the reef.

Only 500 squid survived Typhoon Morakot, but with Kuo's hard work, the population has grown ten-fold over the past year.

However, another typhoon or continued destruction of the marine eco-system could have a hugely detrimental effect on the squid population.
