Taiwan is an island nation with daily routines inseparable from the ocean; therefore, more research and understanding of marine environment, ecological protection and pollution prevention are needed. Environmental Protection Bureau of Tainan City Government has specially proposed: Project of Marine Environmental Monitor and Pollution Emergency Response for Tainan City 2013 (hereinafter referred to as the Project). It hopes to develop understanding of sea areas in Tainan City, protect the ecological environment from destruction and pollution and effectively perform oil cleanup on the sea in the event of oil spills.
The period of this project is from September 10th, 2013 to June 9th, 2014, totaling nine months. The investigation area covers north river bank of Bajhang River in north coast of Tainan City all the way down to estuary of Erren River to the south. During this period, we have three water quality testing reports. In Septemeber 2013, the COD data disqualified Bajhang River/Beimen cultivated area/Jiangjun river north side and south side/ Wanzailiao sand bar north side. We speculated that it was caused by the organic material brushed into ocean by rain. In September 2013, the bottom of north side and surface of south side of Jiangjun River, the surface and bottom of northern sandbar and the bottom of southern sandbar of Wanzailiao, and in December 2013, Beimen cultivated area/Jiangjun river north side and south side/ Wanzailiao sand bar north and south side, and in January 2014, Beimen cultivated area/Jiangjun river north side and south side/ Wanzailiao sand bar north and south side, the data of Phosphorus were unqualified. In December 2013, the NH4 data were unqualified at Beimen cultivated area/Jiangjun river north side and south side/ Wanzailiao sand bar north side and south side. It was speculated that it might be caused by pasturage waste water. The other monitored results showed that the water quality for the surrounding sea areas in Tainan City had reached the standard for all categories of sea water quality requirement.
As for the major feeding territory and activity areas of Black-faced Spoonbill, this project carried out water quality sampling of Black-faced Spoonbill habitat nine times and compared the analysis results with Class-C land-based area water quality standard of Environmental Protection Administration. The Biochemical oxygen demand occasionally did not meet the requirements of Class-C land-based area water quality. At HA3 station, the manganese data mostly exceeded the level endangering the health of human body, just like the past years. Since there are a lot of coastal aquacultures continuously discharging the organic waste water into the lagoon, the measurements are higher as a result.
During this project we received notification twice: (1) On October 24, 2013 fishing vessels were suspected of dumping waste oil in Jiangjun Port. (2) On May 27, 2014 oil contamination was found at the dock area in Jiangjun Port. Upon receiving the notification, our company immediately responded to conduct sampling and testing and submitted the corresponding reports to Environmental Protection Bureau. Due to effective control and prevention, the expansion of polluted area was reduced, and that this could be used as a model for event response in the future. On December 16, 2013, this project hosted a workshop on 2013 Tainan City marine oil pollution emergency response war game simulation so that each contingency planning unit could understand the planning of war game simulation and the marine oil clean-up decision-making at environmentally sensitive area. Other than actual exercise, each contingency planning unit could use the war game simulation to enhance the response capabilities in the event of marine oil spills. As for the marine oil pollution emergency drills of this year, it is canceled in response to the requirements of Environmental Protection Bureau of Tainan City Government.
In assisting Tainan City for its ocean pollution control investigation and environmental protection project, our company completed 237 cases of port inspection during this project. For ship investigation, we completed 145 cases for general fishing ships and 11 cases for joint investigation of merchant ships at Anping Port, totaling 156 cases. All results of the investigation are in compliance with the relevant provisions of marine pollution control laws.
