黑潮島航: 一群海人的藍色曠野巡禮
Wu Ming-Yi, 吳明益, 張卉君
海要好，我們才會一起好！
成為槳，這就出發遶島～～
一群海人與浪共舞的福爾摩沙海岸巡禮，守護藍色國土！！
「會勇敢出海的不是『勇士』，而是『普通人』。 唯有普通人像相手蟹那樣降海繁殖的群體意志，才能創造『怎麼可能』的大規模遷徙。」—— 吳明益
「黑潮島航」是距離15年前的「福爾摩沙遶島」行動，再次對臺灣海域的總體檢。
過了這些年，我們身邊的海域和地景發生了什麼樣的變化？湛藍水面之下是鯨豚及各種海洋生物的家，當陸域的過度開發、空氣汙染、垃圾和缺乏管制的漁撈行為造成海中生態系統的崩毀；棲地喪失、誤捕混獲使野外族群的存續受到威脅，甚至面臨滅絕的危機……
「海好嗎？」對於臺灣周遭「藍色國土」現況的擔憂與焦慮，就這樣伴隨著十多年來如影隨形的遶島傳說，讓「黑潮人」決定順應來自海洋的深切召喚，再一次策劃了島嶼航行的壯遊行動。
《黑潮島航》由吳明益、張卉君等具影響力作家、攝影家、插畫家合著，耗費16天環繞臺灣海域，以獨特的航行日誌形式，書寫對於海洋、生態和島嶼的深度省思。

About the author
Wu Ming-Yi
19 books249 followers Writer, painter, designer, photographer, literary professor, butterfly scholar, environmental activist, traveler and blogger rolled into one, Wu Ming-Yi is very much a modern Renaissance Man. Over the last decade, he has produced an impressive body of work, especially with his fiction and nature writing.
Wu Ming-Yi (b.1971) studied advertising at Fu-Jen Catholic University and has a PhD in Chinese Literature from National Central University. He has been teaching literature and creative writing at Dong Hwa University since 2000 and is now Professor of the Department of Chinese.
Wu’s literary reputation was first established by his nature writing. In THE BOOK OF LOST BUTTERFLIES (2000) and THE WAY OF BUTTERFLIES (2003), he chronicles his lifelong fascination with this beautiful creature and contemplates the invisible bond between man and nature. He wrote, designed, and provided drawings and photographs for the books, as if crafting works of art. Both books made the “Best of the Year” lists, with THE WAY OF BUTTERFLIES winning China Times’ Open Book Award and being chosen as one of the ten most influential books by Kingstore Bookstore.
In 2006, juggling academic life and the need for a period of uninterrupted time for his writing and traveling, Wu decided to resign from his teaching post. This is unheard of in a country where almost no one can make a living writing full-time and many would fight for a stable teaching job. In the end, Dong Hwa University gave Wu a year of sabbatical leave – they didn't want to lose him.
A year later, Wu published two books: his third collection of nature writing, SO MUCH WATER SO CLOSE TO HOME, and his debut novel, ROUTES IN THE DREAM. DREAM re-imagines Taiwan’s complicated history as a Japanese colony and examines the relationship between fathers and sons, memory and dreams. Hailed as a groundbreaking work of literary historical fiction, it was nominated for every major award and was chosen as one of the ten best Chinese-language novels of the year by Asian Weekly magazine (along with Ai Mi’s Hawthorn Tree Forever, Liu Zhenyun’s My Name Is Liu Yuejin, and Dai Sijie’s Once on a Moonless Night) . Wu was the only Taiwanese author on the list.
It is his eco-fantasy novel THE MAN WITH THE COMPOUND EYES (2011), however, that has gained Wu international recognition, with major English and French translations appearing in 2013 and 2014. A “Taiwanese Life of Pi”, it is an ambitious exploration of Taiwan's island identity, the cost of environmental degradation, and how humans make sense of the world around them, at once poetic, philosophical and far-reaching. It has already caught the attention of major writers in the genre such as Ursula K. Le Guin.

「從事生態保育，最核心的就是關心生物的性與繁殖。只有成功的繁殖才能對抗滅絕，對抗人類對環境的傷害。」-p167
「逃避是對生命過程的潮漲潮落所做出的一種回應。」-p254
「⋯大海的聲音正受到人類聲音的干擾。前所未有的大量船隻、聲納、定位系統干擾了海的聲音，許多生物的求偶聲被掩蓋，以聲音在大洋裡傳遞訊息的巨鯨更是受挫。」-p258
「大海是生命的起源、無數生命的家園，也是供養人類的糧倉，但也成了最大和最終的垃圾場。」-p349

吳老師在這趟旅程中回憶起他閱讀過的海洋書籍，讓人也想接著閱讀，包含:
Frank Schatzing <海，另一個未知的宇宙>
Virginina Woolf <海浪>
Marah Hardt
夏曼藍波安 <大海浮夢>
有一點可惜的地方，是書中後面有放置此次航海中各檢測點的採樣，會讓人想些多了解更多硬科學以及造成現象的原因，我讀完後有搜尋到大愛電視台採訪張卉君執行長，有多次提到離岸風電對於環境的影響，我覺得就如書中所提的，淨灘活動讓參與人能夠改變生活習慣更勝於當日清除的垃圾，黑潮文教基金會出這本書除文學價值外，我想更重要的事，讓閱讀者能夠更親近海洋以及了解台灣的現狀，書中鮮少點出哪些社會議題值得我們關注，可惜了點。
