Abstract
Taiwan is surrounded by seas. The extensive seas cover tropical and sub-tropical zones. In this environment of diverse marine ecology, seas surrounding Taiwan are rich fisheries. In recent years, in addition to fishing boats of Taiwan fishing in these zones, there are also China fishing boats always trying to trespass. They fish by such operating methods as poisoning, dynamiting, and sea bed roller nets. Long-term excessive catching abuses have severely damaged the fishing resources and marine ecology in the seas surrounding Taiwan, leading to declining fishing yields and jeopardizing the livelihood of fishermen of Taiwan and operating safety in the seas. Sea patrol authorities have long caught and expelled these trespassing ships, but they have been at the same time unable to prevent China fishing boats from trespassing and fishing illegally, especially in winter months when the weather is bad. In this season, due to the unfavorable weather, the patrol ships cannot endure the maximum wave endurance and cannot go out to expel China ships. This has caused that China fishing boats continue trespassing, making the problem of excessive catching in our seas persist.
China fishing boats trespass our seas to make inappropriate excessive catch. At the same time, some Taiwan fishermen make transactions with China fishing boats in the high sea. All these have influenced the fishing resources and economy of Taiwan and obscured the reality that the two sides on the Taiwan Strait are under separate administrative jurisdiction. China fishing boats trespassing the territorial sea of Taiwan and Taiwan¡¦s sea patrol units towing back the caught fishing boats for ensuing handling have made it possible for China fishermen to understand the harbor environment and shipping routes. This has been a worry for our sea defense.
It is very important to devise and formulate counter strategies to respond to the problems derived from China fishing boats trespassing Taiwan¡¦s territorial seas so that Taiwan¡¦s limited patrol and law enforcement capacities can yield the maximum enforcement efficiency. In view of this, this research conducted in-depth investigations into the current conditions of Taiwan¡¦s sea patrol authorities in expelling and forfeiting China fishing boats and the difficult parts with relation to laws and practical execution aspect, and brought up concrete solution ideas that will be referred to by decision-makers and executors. It is hoped to construct an excellent marine environment and facilitate the perennial development and exploitation of marine resources.
