In order to make coordinated arrangements on the atolls of Dongsha, and integrate operations such as the evaluation on different islands and potential marine national parks, the Executive Yuan in December 2006 merged the administration organizations into the "Marine National Park Headquarters". Therefore, both "Dongsha Atoll National Park" (established in 2007) and "South Penghu Marine National Park" (established in 2014) are under the administration of the Marine National Park Headquarters, which is unlike the foreign administration model of one headquarters per national park. In other words, the Marine National Park Headquarters, National Park Service, Ministry of the Interior is an administrative body, while Dongsha Atoll National Park and South Penghu Marine National Park are the 7th and 9th national parks in Taiwan.
