History

The Organization Act of the Ocean Affairs Council was formulated and promulgated on 1 July 2015. It was initially planned to be inaugurated in July 2016 but was delayed due to disagreements in the Legislative Yuan. The council was eventually inaugurated on 28 April 2018 by Premier William Lai.

In December 2020, the Ocean Affairs Council clarified that in the event of an attack on a Coast Guard vessel, the head of the Ocean Affairs Council has the right to order them to return fire. In the event that communications with headquarters are blocked, the highest ranking local officer can then make the decision to return fire.
