According to Chang Shie Khim (曾詩琴), after completing high school, she attended a university in Taiwan. She later married her spouse and made Taiwan her home. The family frequently went on intertidal zone excursions on weekends. She is always saddened by the actions of numerous visitors who harm the marine ecosystem. She believes that the marine resources won't be depleted if there are alternatives to this fishing activity.

In order to carry out her goal to create an AI recognition database, Chang Shie Khim (曾詩琴) frequently brought her husband and two kids to the intertidal zone. According to Chang Shie Khim, it takes 1,000 images to capture a single image of a species, 500 of those photos must be chosen for AI recognition, and a module test must be carried out. The database may then be assembled and posted to the website after it is finished. After that, all you have to do to upload the photo is scan the QR Code with smartphone, and AI will instantly recognize more than 20 related marine animals.
