Taiwan is surrounded by sea; the coastline is more than 1,500 kilometers and the marine water of Taiwan is the important channel for the international ocean shipping. Therefore, to prevent the wastewater or sewage of ship from being emitted into the sea, become one of the significant topics. Since 2006, the Taiwan Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) established the mechanism of marine and river pollution response, and integrated the participating response personnel and equipments of support to promote the marine pollution handling. The main work of this project：making a plan of marine pollution control and to estimate the growth trend of water pollution; to hold conferences about marine environment; to establish “Management and Response Center of Pollution in Southern Coast Water”; to plan some marine environment sustainability indicators; to build the system of marine environmental information in Southern Coast Water. The current pollution from the industrial wastewater or sewage discharge into the basin of rivers in 5 counties in southern area, Kao Ping River got the most of quantity in BOD, COD, and SS. The policy for reducing wastewater from the swine industries still needs some improvement. From the analysis of marine water quality, we found the nutrients concentration are higher in monitoring stations in Zeng-wun River, Agong-dian River and Lin-bian River; the abnormal high consistency of ammonia nitrogen, TP and nitrite usually discovered in the estuary. In order to combine the resources and energy from adjacent counties, municipal governments, industry's unit and public organizations, to safeguard the marine environment and protect resources of ocean simultaneously. On September 29, 2005, we hold a meeting about 「The improvement of marine environment in Southern Coast Water」, and invited municipal governments, industry's unit and public organizations to joint at a conference room of Howard hotel in Kaohsiung. The attendance organizations consist of 70% of the major groups at southern region. On November 6, we invited the environmental protection unit to exchange the experiences of marine pollution control and some relevant plan about marine protection to join the meeting about 「The improve achievement of marine environment in Southern Coast Water」. The project stands on 「Major marine oil pollution emergency response plan」to establish “Management and Response Center of Pollution in Southern Coast Water”, in order to plan mechanism of emergency response in 5 southern counties and cities. It’s on the combination of resources and emergency energy that collect from adjacent counties, municipal governments, industry's unit and public organizations, and that is responsible for the second marine oil pollution incidents of 'command response and take charge of deployment'. It needs to handle the marine pollution incidents immediately and supervise the tasks about ecological rehabilitation and monitoring. The Marine environmental sustain indicator base on three parts of analyzing. These three parts are「positive or negative pressure about marine environmental industry and leisure activities, demand of nature resources、pollute load、environmental improvement」,「natural ecology、changes of resource and environment situation」,「the decisions、measures and strategies from government、organization and industry」. We can use the mutative trend of indicators to figure out the major marine pollution, make useful strategy to response and meliorate. The database of marine environmental combine the data, such as walrus, hydrology, rivers, harbors, coast characteristic and the area of environmental sensitivity, etc., it can offer the necessary reference data about marine environmental management. The database can also inquire about the specific environmental condition of ocean immediately; cater to the needing of pollution incidents.
