Evaluation the impacts on Chinese White Dolphin(Sousa Chinensis) neighboring the offshore wind farm / 評估離岸風力發電廠對於中華白海豚的影響

碩士 / 國立成功大學 / 海洋科技與事務研究所 / 100 / Global environmental awareness has been raised to attach great importance to the enfluence of deteriorated green house effect. Most of countries have devoted to the development of renewable resource and the ways of how to manipulate due to the exhaustion of fossil fuel. Taiwan is located in monsoon zone and surrounded by ocean, therefore, that is contributed to the exploitation of the offshore wind power. As well as, it would be able to assist the relative development of green energy industries in the future. However, the developments of the offshore wind energy may harm Chinese white dolphin which is lived in the west of coastal area in Taiwan. Our concern is to consider the impact and affect range. This is because its have to decrease the environmental impact due to develop the offshore wind energy. At the same time, it has to provide relational research and data for assisting a balance between offshore wind development and ecological conservation.
This study aims on the data of marine water quality, undersea noise, Chinese White Dolphin ecology data, and offshore wind energy foundation to analize the ecological influences of Chinese White Dolphin. At the same time, this research will investigate the relationship between marine water quality and communication in underwater acoustic. According to marine water quality data and the monitoring data, this research evaluates the level of influence and harmful range for marine mammal from undersea noise of the offshore wind energy. Finally, this study will integrate the way of noise suppression device for the planning of an appropriate site to build offshore wind farm.
According to the results, that was showed that the influence range of undersea noise is approximately 2,000 meter. And the habitat of Chinese White Dolphin is approximately 8 meter water depth. In addition, this research analyze the offshore sea area where are available in the west of Taiwan. Thus, the central part of Taiwan’s offshore area is the goal place to build the offshore wind energy in Zhanghua. Consequently, in order to protecte the habitate of the Chinese White Dolphin, this stusy suggests that offshore wind towers have to build in a field that is out toward the offshore over 2,000 meter and the water depth over 8 meter. The present research of the undersea noise research by offshore wind energy focuses on the evaluation of the period of the piling. However, our concern is to consider the long term influence after operating the offshore wind energy. Hence, a new thinking of the operational noise has to intrdduce to the assessment of offshore wind farm.
