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’s team has setup an emergency communication network between NCU and EPA. The team has also used the communication network and remote sensing systems to take part in the marine training and data collection exercise for seven times during the project period. 2. The video data 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 provides an internet environment for reporting marine oil-pollution emergency, has been program revised, functions improved, and data added. The billboard function and new interface of the web-based system are also offered this year. 4. A workshop is coordinated to introduce the systems developed in the project to the related government organizations. 5. With collecting the data of navigation technology and civil cooperation, an appropriate monitoring system for Taiwan marine environment is suggested. 6. According to the foreign case studies of marine monitoring by the recent remote sensing technologies, a standard procedure of collecting remote sensing data for marine pollution is proposed.
