A Review Project for Marine pollution emergency response energy and Equipment assessment program

Absrtact
When marine pollution incident occurs, the burden often falls on the initial response of the authorities, within the county Municipality strain of human resources including strain management and maintenance of equipment will determine the quality of initial strain. At present, the difficulty of local authorities to implement marine pollution response equipment management and maintenance is that the industry doesn't have professional management staffs, who are mostly mechanical background, could easily lead to poor maintenance of equipment, resulting in the failure to use equipment in the first recovery of containment performance and reduce the contamination spread. Therefore, this project by evaluating the energy of Taiwan's marine pollution emergency response applicability and adequacy, and thus gave the suggestion for local government about oil pollution response equipment, equipment preparedness, how to strengthen the accuracy of use and develop the establishment of marine oil pollution emergency energy assessment formula, the strain units can consult in incident; on the other way, the investigation of classification of the marine environment sensitive indicator could provide the information about marine pollution emergency response, hoping to improve the effectiveness of response; and develop our sea garbage pollution survey planned method, could offer a reference by planning diversity strategy of response in accidents occurred. Main issues of this project: Assessment of the energy and marine pollution emergency response mechanism in Taiwan; evaluation of local government oil pollution response equipment and equipment preparedness situation, to strengthen the accuracy of use; the investigation of classification of the marine environment sensitive indicator could provide the information about marine pollution emergency response; planning and establishment the survey method of Taiwan's sea garbage pollution. Domestic marine pollution response equipment budgeted for purchase by the EPA since 2001, afterward referred to the Coast Guard or local authorities to use. Equipment from scratch, gradually improve the strain energy, it is recommended to check regularly, budget purchase for response equipment and replace to update the device in the future, in addition to operate and maintain the province's response equipment by commissioned. In this way could save government funds, including equipment maintenance, education, training and response drills and other matters. Using this method not only can reduce the manpower and funding for public sector spending, but also enhance the professional response personnel. To combine the strength and resources of civil institutions and organizations, and protect the marine environment and resources together, the plan hold two conferences, one is "Assessment of marine pollution emergency response energy conference." and the other one is "Planning the survey method of garbage pollution in Taiwan's sea area conference", inviting relevant government agencies, private institutions and organizations, the county unit contains EPA, Oceanic Administration, Coast Guard, Port Authority, the National Park Service, Taipower, Taiwan's Chinese Petroleum Corporation, Formosa Petrochemical companies are the attendance. Inviting local environmental agencies and relevant response units to be improved the energy of marine pollution response equipment. This project completed the classification of sensitive indicators of the marine environment 285 km survey map in northern regions (Taoyuan County, the new Taipei, Keelung City, Ilan County). To building the environmentally sensitive coastal map not only to provide the appropriate decontamination method for decision-makers choose by classification, but also to help decision-makers to decide protection priorities of ecologically sensitive areas and human resources.As the ecological and fisheries resources are valuable assets, supposing it takes damage, could be not recover or pay more cost. Therefore, the usual monitoring is more important, it is recommended should continue to collect ecological data, integrate information and relevant units of the survey combined with the oil spill model, in order to enrich and improve the environmentally sensitive map. The garbage at sea coast has become a major source of pollution in recent years. This project could provide reference of for he investigation of waste sea area for domestic cities and counties near the sea to executive by sea area garbage pollution survey to complete manuals developing by analyzing implement foreign literature and foreign sea area garbage survey the current practice.
