With the help of a passionate team of volunteers, marine conservationist Kuo Tao-ren cuts bamboo from the mountain and use it to create new spawning reefs at the bottom of the sea.

每年四月到九月，是俗稱軟絲仔迴游到東北角海域產卵的季節，但近年來，因為颱風及人為因素，軟絲仔的產卵環境，已遭到嚴重破壞。九年前，海洋環境保育工作者-郭道仁，帶領一群休閒潛水愛好者，疏伐山區路邊的桂竹叢，在金沙灣附近海域，開始為軟絲仔建造產卵魚礁。郭道仁當初復育軟絲仔的目的，主要是想營造一處海底賞魚區，維護東北角海域休閒潛點，沒想到以自創土法打造的人工「產房」，深受軟絲仔的喜愛，每到產卵季節，卵包幾乎掛滿竹叢魚礁。不過目前這一種復育方式，公部門與部分海洋學界還是持觀望的態度，任令保育人士孤軍奮鬥，每年以單薄的力量，一點一滴的不斷為軟絲仔重建產房。2006年 間，日本海洋生態學者與美國的人工魚礁專家，實地觀察竹叢浮魚礁的效益之後，一致高度肯定海洋志工們的成果，並計畫在日本海域，複製竹叢魚礁，保育志工的 心血，已逐漸在海洋裡發光發熱。
