The main objective of the project is to use the existing remote sensing technologies and internet communications system to aid the data collection when marine pollution emergencies occur. The following tasks are achieved in the project: 1.The NCU project’steam has setup an emergency communication network between NCU and EPA. The team hasalso used the communication network and remote sensing systems to take part in the marine training and data collection exercise for five times during the project period. 2.The videodata transmitting system has been packed into modules, enhanced with audio equipment, and added with interpretation function for pollution situation. Moreover, the manual for operating the system is provided. 3.The web-based system, which providesan internet environment for reporting marine oil-pollution emergency, has been programrevised, functions improved, and data added. The billboard function is also offered this year. 4.A workshop is coordinated to introduce the systems developed in the project to the related government organizations. 5.The short, intermediate, and long-term strategies for using remote sensing technologies and digital maps in different levels of government organizations are collected to aid marine oil-pollution emergency plan. 6.The information about the recent development of remote sensing technologies applied to environmental monitoring in foreign countries is collected, and their successful stories are also presented in the project.
