1.Strengthening horizontal communication among local coastal cleaning and maintenance units:Conducted at least 2 inter-departmental meetings facilitated by the city government to review the effectiveness of various coastal land management units in the city.The meetings were held on June 8th and November 22nd, both presided over by high-ranking officials from the city government.
2.Implementation of Kaohsiung coastal environmental cleanup, inspection, reporting, and emergency removal operations:
(1) Regarding the approximately 17 kilometers of coastline under the jurisdiction of the Kaohsiung City Government (43 locations in total), the areas were classified based on the degree of pollution into "17 hotspot areas" and "26 non-hotspot areas." During the execution of coastal inspection operations: Hotspot areas were inspected at least once a week Non-hotspot areas were inspected at least once every two weeks. Approximately 46 kilometers of coastline not under the jurisdiction of the Kaohsiung City Government were inspected at least once a month. As of November 30th, the city government has conducted the following inspections: For the 17 hotspot areas under the city government's jurisdiction, a total of 44 inspections have been carried out. For the 30 non-hotspot areas under the city government's jurisdiction, a total of 22 inspections have been conducted. For the coastline not under the jurisdiction of the Kaohsiung City Government, a total of 10 inspections have been carried out.
(2) Operation of Reporting Coastal Pollution Cases:
When a polluted area is discovered during the inspection, the contractor is required to assist in consolidating relevant information (such as GPS coordinates, land parcel number, responsible management unit, etc.) and provide it to the authorities. After obtaining approval from the authorities, the case is then reported to the "Kaohsiung Coastal Tribute Line Group" to notify the responsible management unit for prompt cleanup. Furthermore, the contractor is responsible for tracking the subsequent cleanup results and reporting them to the authorities. As of November 30th, a total of 10 pollution cases have been reported during inspections. Among these, 6 cases were related to city-managed coastal land, and 4 cases were related to centrally managed coastal land. Cleanup has been completed for both city-managed and centrally managed coastal land
(3) Emergency Cleanup Operation for Coastal Pollution Cases:
This project has allocated an emergency cleanup budget of NT$80,000 through an open contract. Upon the discovery of a polluted area during inspections, the incident is reported to the Environmental Protection Bureau, and the allocated budget for emergency cleanup is mobilized. The emergency cleanup operation was carried out on November 17th at the emergency cleanup site, identified as parcel number 467 in the port section of Mituo District. The cleanup involved the removal of 110 kilograms of debris, including drifting vegetation, dried branches, and scattered recyclable waste.
3.Continuing to Implement and Promote Innovative Initiatives in the City as the "Beach Cleaning Cooperative":
In the fiscal year 2023, the project continued to use the coastline in Qijin District as the focal point for promoting the "Beach Cleaning Cooperative." A total of 10 container-based locations were established to provide beach cleaning tools for the public to borrow and return at their convenience. The cooperative planned collaborations with 6 local businesses and set up 4 outdoor honest beach cleaning tool lending areas.
On May 16th, the outdoor honest beach cleaning tool lending area underwent visual optimization and structural improvements for the containers. The design of the beach cleaning tool lending area was reimagined, incorporating local marine elements and distinctive landscape features to blend the container's appearance with the local scenery. The interior of the toolboxes was significantly enhanced, featuring three compartments for neatly organizing beach cleaning tools such as gloves, garbage bags, and tongs. Additionally, iron hooks were designed for hanging, allowing the public to access tools as needed. Above the toolboxes, fish-shaped signs and QR codes were installed for easy identification, scanning for borrowing, and providing feedback. Project personnel conducted weekly inspections, ensuring an adequate supply of tools for public participation in beach cleaning activities.
As of November 30th, the cumulative number of people borrowing beach cleaning tools reached 1,342. The project also assisted the authorities in posting promotional content about the Beach Cleaning Cooperative on the Kaohsiung Environmental Protection Bureau's Facebook page. Three posts were made on February 14th, May 19th, and August 7th. Additionally, 20 promotional posters for the Beach Cleaning Cooperative were created and displayed in 15 prominent locations to maximize the effectiveness of the promotional efforts.
4.Management and Evaluation of the Environmental Protection Administration's Coastal Cleanup Information Platform:
The Coastal Cleanup Information Platform's proactive cleanup efforts have achieved success, with each unit uploading results monthly in accordance with the platform's requirements. There have been a total of 22 immediate cleanup reports, all meeting the platform's standards and completed within 7 days. Only one case was affected by the schedule interruption caused by a typhoon, leading to a temporary suspension of cleanup and exceeding the 7-day cleanup period. However, all cases were eventually successfully cleaned up
