A Study of International Perspective on Taiwan Marine Environmental Protection Policy and Analysis

The oil spill marine pollution resulting from the shipping has been the major concern of Taiwan coastal environment that embraces abundant and enriched marine resources, because it often has caused serious destruction to the marine ecological habitat. The integrated policy on marine pollution control and protection is urgently needed to augment the efficiency of administration for the adaptions of many acts that exist in vary governmental departments. The present study was initiated to survey the current international law related to the marine pollution control and protection. The strategic management and organization of marine protection employed by United State, Canada, Japan, Singapore and Korea were evaluated and assessed to the idea of consideration of the existing environmental law and acts at the governmental department. These are to be made for better structure and organization for the improvement of integrated marine pollution control and protection.
The study illustrated both Tzini and Natuna oil spill cases for comparative analysis on handling the marine pollution control. The analysis showed that, the ocean environmental protection in Taiwan only focus on ¡§marine pollution¡¨, but lack of consideration on ¡¨marine ecological conservation¡¨. Besides, the task due among ministries is less of unified and good coordination. In addition, Taiwan is restricted to the situation of non-diplomatic relation to the world, it is very difficult to participate in international program or organization related to marine environment and pollution prevention. Taiwan should monitor and collect ecological resource data at the sensitive areas associated with the possible problems from the loss of coral reef recovery, fishery and local economy. This thesis attempts to suggest the need for the improvement mechanism and institution on legislation, organization, enforcement, ecosystem and compensation. Desiring future legislation should be able to integrate the marine environment protection by proposing a comprehensive integrated legislation, management, organization and to strongly urge energy enforcement.
