Between March and May 2015 the EPA conducted marine waste clean-up and disposal surveys at six ports that it had selected. The survey results showed that the main sources of marine waste are from the land, with waste being carried downstream by rivers or solid objects being thrown into the sea from the coast. The most common item was metal cans, followed by plastic bags, plastic bottles, and glass jars.
With the arrival of summer, coastal areas become popular destinations for people to go for leisure activities or just to cool off. To maintain the quality of beaches, environmental agencies and citizen groups have led the way in coastal cleanups. In addition to coastal waste, seabed waste and related issues such as its distribution, sources and environmental impacts also need to be investigated and tackled. To this end, the EPA implemented its Taiwan Marine Territory Waste Clearance and Disposal Survey Plan.
The large majority of marine waste comes from land-based sources, with waste being carried downstream by rivers or solid objects being thrown into the sea from along coastlines. In 2013, an EU marine waste research project used trawling nets to gather waste from the seabed of the eastern Mediterranean and the Black Sea. A total of 5,398 items were brought up by the nets, of which nearly half (49.6%) were plastic items, 8.7-22% were metal items, and 6-22% were glass or ceramic containers. Analysis revealed that plastic bags comprised 50% of the plastic waste, plastic bottles 17.5%, plastic film 13.5%, and fishing line and nets that were discarded by fishermen, 6.7%.
In 2014, Kenting National Park Headquarters(墾丁國家公園管理處)completed a clean-up of some sites in and around the park including Houbi Lake(後壁湖), a nearby lagoon, the Maanshan Nuclear Power Plant water intake channel, and the eastern side of Nanwan Vision Stone (南灣眺石). The seabed waste recovered was 70% composed of fishing lines and nets, with plastic bags and metal cans each accounting for 10%.
To better understand the current seabed waste situation around Taiwan, from 22 March to 19 May 2015 the EPA selected six of Taiwan’s ports, river estuaries and areas with prominent cliffs in which to conduct the Taiwan Marine Territory Waste Clearance and Disposal Survey Plan. The surveys were carried out by teams of two divers each at Anping Port in Tainan (臺南安平港), Beinan River (卑南溪) estuary, Lanyang River (蘭陽溪) estuary, Tamshui River (淡水河) estuary, Nanwan at Kenting (墾丁南灣), and Jialeshui (佳樂水), within a 10,000 m2 area of sea approximately 300 m from the coast.
Overall, the seabed waste survey/clean-up resulted in 24 items weighing a total of 17 kg being recovered. Among them, metal cans were the most common item, with a total of 11 collected. Other common items included plastic bags and bottles, and glass bottles and jars. Larger items such as waste tires, fishing nets and rubber tubes were also recovered.
The results of the surveys conducted at Anping Port, Beinan River estuary, Lanyang River estuary, and Tamshui River estuary showed there were no large amounts of trash on the seabed in and around these areas. This may be because the area surveyed at Anping does not see many visitors, while large waves often wash over the Beinan River, Lanyang River and Tamshui River estuary survey sites. In addition, the sandy seabeds of these sites also make it easier for the trash to be carried onto the shore by local currents. In contrast, at Kenting Nanwan and Jialeshui, coral reefs are prominent geological features and larger items such as used fishing nets, rubber tubing, and tires get caught on the jagged coral reefs. Of these, used fishing nets can end up spread out over a wide area of coral reef and pose a more serious threat to local ecosystems.
Through implementing the marine waste clearance and survey project, the EPA has been able to gain a preliminary overview of the seabed waste situation for the various types of seabed environments around Taiwan. As most marine waste originates inland or because of improper disposal in coastal areas, the EPA will continue to promote at-source management and waste reduction, and is also planning to subsidize local governments to carry out seabed clean-ups in 2016. , 欄位年度的內容是2015 , 欄位月份的內容是6 , 欄位卷的內容是18 , 欄位期的內容是6 , 欄位順序的內容是 , 欄位倒序的內容是 , 欄位分類的內容是Water , 欄位標題2的內容是 , 欄位檔案位置的內容是V18/V18-06 。
