SDG 13.3.4

  1. Placement of Marine Weather Data Buoys協助中央氣象局完成海氣象資料浮標佈放

The world faces significant issues with climate change, and extreme weather poses serious threats to human life, property, and well-being. If the Central Weather Bureau can accurately and effectively collect meteorological data, it can provide more precise weather forecasts to help people avoid disaster-prone conditions, ensuring the smooth conduct of activities such as maritime recreation, fishing operations, navigation, ecological protection, construction projects, and resource surveys.

Oceanographic data buoys are widely used internationally to collect marine environmental data, with about 500 anchored buoys worldwide. Due to their placement in marine environments, they face increased wear and tear from wave action and equipment aging. If the anchors or ropes break, the buoys can drift and fail to perform their observation tasks. Therefore, annually redeploying or replacing equipment is a crucial task.

The Central Weather Bureau commissioned National Taiwan Ocean University to update and maintain the 2023 buoy system and anchoring equipment. On June 23, 2024, the Research Vessel Hsin Hai Yen No. 2 from the university arrived at the designated location at Pengjia Islet. After assessing the local depth and topography, buoy deployment began. The vessel then met with the divers' boat at the old anchor point, where divers disassembled the old buoy's underwater anchoring. The old buoy was then lifted to the aft deck for recovery. After verifying the new buoy's accuracy on-site, the mission was completed, and the vessel returned.

Marine meteorological buoys accurately record data on air pressure, water temperature, air temperature, wave height, wave period, wave direction, wind direction, and wind speed. Each data point is transmitted within minutes, providing real-time updates to meteorologists and disaster response units. This helps reduce personnel and property losses from disasters and ensures smoother operations and economic activities at sea.

Data buoys transmit a large volume of marine meteorological information, which is crucial for weather forecasting and maritime safety assessments. After the Central Weather Bureau collects and consolidates this data, it is sent in real-time to relevant agencies such as the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Water Resources Agency, the Council of Agriculture's Fisheries Agency, the Ocean Affairs Council's Coast Guard Administration, and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications' Tourism Bureau. Additionally, the data is published on marine meteorological observation websites for use across various sectors, enhancing early warning and disaster prevention capabilities.

Sustainable Impact: aligns with SDG13.3.4 by informing and supporting government agencies in early warning and disaster monitoring related to climate change. Through real-time data collection on marine weather conditions, the buoys provide crucial meteorological information to various government bodies, including the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction and the Fisheries Agency. This data supports accurate weather forecasting, improves disaster preparedness, and enhances the capacity to mitigate risks associated with extreme weather events, thereby aiding local and regional governments in protecting lives, property, and economic activities.

全球面臨氣候變遷的重大議題,極端氣候的產生對人類的生活、生命、財產有著重大的危害,中央氣象署若是能精準有效的蒐集資料氣象資料,更能提供民眾更準確的氣象預報,使民眾能避開致災天候,確保海域休憩活動、漁船作業、航行交通、生態環境保護、工程作業、資源調查等能順利進行。

海洋資料浮標為目前國際間大量使用來蒐集海洋環境資料的儀器,全球約有500座錨繫式海上資料浮標,因為置放在海洋環境之中,經海浪拍打、侵蝕設備老化故障頻率增高,錨繫、繩索一但斷裂更會導致浮標移位,而無法執行觀測任務,因此每年重新布建或更換設備成為級具重要的任務之一。

國立臺灣海洋大學研發處研究船船務中心新海研2號受中央氣象署委託,協助執行112年度資料浮標系統及錨繫設備更新維護,於113623日出海抵達彭佳嶼資料浮標預定地點,詳細確認附近水深地形狀況後,開始進行浮標布放作業,再前往資料浮標舊錨碇點與潛水員小艇會合,由潛水員進行舊資料浮標水下錨繫解開作業,再將舊浮標吊至後甲板固定,完成資料浮標回收作業,並現場確認新資料正確後完成任務返航。

海氣象浮標能正確紀錄氣壓、水溫、氣溫、波高、波浪週期、波向、風向風速等數據,每一筆數據都能在幾分鐘內完成資料傳輸,達到即時提供最新數據給氣象預報人員及防災救護單位,降低災害造成的人員及財產損失,使海上各項作業、經濟活動等能更順暢。

資料浮標傳回大量的海象資訊,成為天氣預告、海上安全評估等重要數據,經海經中央氣象署蒐集彙整其他數據後,即時傳送至國家防災防救科技中心、經濟部水利署、農委會漁業署、海洋委員會海巡署、交通部觀光局等相關單位,且公布於海象觀測網站提供民間各個領域使用,達到預警、災害防治等效能。

永續影響力: 海氣象資料浮標提供即時數據,加強天氣預測和海上安全,並支援各機構的災害防範。此即時資料有助於減少人員與財產損失,確保海上活動順利進行,提升防災能力。

  1. The Environmental Survey and Evaluation of the Nuclear Power Plant No. 4 Units 1 and 2 Power Generation Project – Supervision of the Short-Term Beach Nourishment at Yanliao Coa核能四廠第一、二號機發電計畫環境調查評析鹽寮海岸短期性養灘之監督工作

Based on the results of beach terrain monitoring over the years at Yenliao Beach in the Northeastern corner, it is evident that short-term variations in the monitored area are primarily attributed to typhoon events. The amount of sand and sediment variation varies depending on the path and scale of the typhoon events. Following these typhoon events, the beach terrain gradually shows signs of recovery and accretion as the influence of the northeastern monsoon weakens. The variations in sediment quantity and the position of the 0-meter contour line over the monitoring period are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.

Sustainable Impact: aligns with SDG13.3.4 by supporting local governments in monitoring and responding to climate-related disasters, specifically in managing coastal changes due to typhoon events. The ongoing monitoring of beach terrain and sediment variation at Yanliao Beach provides essential data that can be used by local authorities to assess risks and implement beach nourishment and protection strategies. By sharing this information with relevant governmental bodies, the project enhances early warning and disaster preparedness, contributing to effective coastal management and climate resilience.

  1. Investigation on coastal wetland carbon sink and establishment of measurement methodology海岸濕地碳匯量測方法學及本土係數建立

According to the Ministry of Agriculture's key strategic action plan for Taiwan's 2050 net-zero transition "Natural Carbon Sinks" released in April 2023, the current national greenhouse gas inventory report only includes forest carbon sink data in the "Land Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry" section. Important carbon sink data for our country's soil, ocean, and wetlands have not been included due to the lack of an MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) mechanism tailored to our environmental conditions, resulting in a lack of basic carbon sink inventory and annual variation data. Therefore, to understand the overall changes in carbon sequestration and the potential emission reductions in our country, it is essential to actively develop ocean carbon sink measurement methods, establish local coefficients, and develop baseline data.Through the execution of this project, we aim to establish baseline data for our country's coastal wetlands, facilitating the future establishment of measurement and evaluation methods, estimation of carbon sequestration potential, and verification methods for carbon sinks.

Sustainable Impact: aligns with SDG13.3.4 by providing essential support to the government for climate change risk monitoring and disaster prevention. This project develops a tailored MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) mechanism to assess carbon sequestration in coastal wetlands, offering critical data that can inform Taiwan's 2050 net-zero strategy. By establishing local coefficients and baseline data for wetlands, the project enhances the government's ability to monitor carbon sinks and their potential for reducing emissions, supporting regional climate action and resilience through informed policy decisions.

根據1124月農業部發布之臺灣2050淨零轉型「自然碳匯」關鍵戰略行動計畫,目前我國國家溫室氣體清冊報告僅於《土地利用、土地利用變化及林業部門》章節中盤點及收納森林碳匯相關資料,我國土壤、海洋與濕地等重要碳匯量資料,因尚未依我國環境條件建立相符之MRV機制(Monitoring, Reporting, Verification),缺乏基礎碳匯量盤點及每年變動量等資料,因此,為瞭解我國整體碳匯變動量與可抵減之排放量,應積極建構海洋碳匯量測方法、建立本土係數與發展基線資料。透過本案之執行,期望可建構我國海岸濕地之基線資料,俾利未來建立量測與計量評估、增匯潛力估算與碳匯量認驗證方法之目標。

永續影響力: 此計畫透過建立海岸濕地碳匯量測方法,提供本土基線數據,支持台灣2050淨零轉型,促進碳匯監測與減排策略的發展。

  1. Investigation on aquaculture carbon sink and establishment of measurement methodology養殖漁業碳匯調查及建立量測方法學研究

Since our country has not yet established a corresponding Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) mechanism, the national greenhouse gas inventory has not included data on wetland carbon sequestration. To understand the overall changes in carbon sequestration and the potential reduction of emissions in our country, as well as to meet the three major principles (measurable, verifiable, reportable) and five key characteristics (additionality, exclusive claim to GHG reductions, permanence, avoiding social and environmental harms, and avoiding overestimation) required for future voluntary reduction projects, this project will measure greenhouse gases and carbon sequestration in the water bodies and sediments of aquaculture, specifically in the milkfish and sea bass farming industries. Through the execution of this project, we hope to accurately estimate the carbon sequestration or carbon source capacity of wetlands to align with international net-zero emission trends and achieve domestic net-zero emission policy goals.

Sustainable Impact: aligns with SDG13.3.4 by supporting the government's efforts in climate change risk monitoring and policy development for carbon sequestration. By establishing a Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) mechanism for greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sinks in aquaculture, this project provides critical data on carbon sequestration in milkfish and sea bass farming. This information helps the government accurately assess carbon sinks, aligning with international net-zero emission trends and supporting Taiwan’s domestic net-zero emission policy goals. The project contributes to informed decision-making and climate resilience strategies.

因我國尚未建立相符之監測、報告與驗證機制(MRV),國家溫室氣體排放清冊尚未建立濕地相關碳匯量數據,為了解我國整體之碳匯變動量及可減少之排放量,以及未來自願減量專案中所需之三大原則(可量測、可驗證、可報告)和五大特性(外加性、保守性、永久性、避免產生危害及避免重複計算),本案將針對養殖漁業碳匯,包含虱目魚及鱸魚養殖產業,進行水體及底土之溫室氣體與碳匯量測,。透過本案之執行,期望可精確的推估濕地的碳匯或碳源能力,以符合國際淨零排放趨勢及達到國內淨零排放政策目標。

永續影響力: 此計畫透過建立海岸濕地碳匯量測方法,提供本土基線數據,支持台灣2050淨零轉型,促進碳匯監測與減排策略的發展。

  1. Environmental carrying capacity assessment and opening planning of recreational resources in Annong River water area安農溪水域遊憩資源環境承載量評估與開放規劃

The development of Anong river has to adhere to the principles of sustainable development. Therefore, National Taiwan Ocean University was commissioned by Yilang County Government in 2022 to assess the water environment, resource conditions, and environmental carrying capacity of Anong river, in order to develop suitable river segments for canoeing and determine the activity safety carrying capacity, which will serve as a basis for future management (p.12).

This study started from 2022. And it goes on till now. This report examines and analyzes the overall recreational environment of Anong river, including an inventory of recreational resources, environmental ecological sensitivity, recreational features, and safety regulations. It involves summarizing and analyzing data to propose plans for site categorization, recreational needs, and a sequence of recreational opportunities. Additionally, it outlines the management practices for opening recreational activities in the water area of Anong river, including visitor carrying capacity, facility carrying capacity, and ecological carrying capacity. It also involves collecting and analyzing data on activity regulation and monitoring mechanisms, and proposing recommendations.

The report suggests dividing the canoeing recreational area of Anong river into three segments: from the Lower Lake Bridge in Tianshan Village to Zhanggongwei Riverside Park, from Daguangmingzhen to the downstream Zhanggongwei Park, and from Yiyin Bridge to Nongyi Bridge. The area from the downstream of Lanyang Power Plant to the starting point of canoeing (Lower Lake Bridge in Tianshan Village) should be closed to recreational activities to avoid interference with the operation of the power plant.

Management and opening of any water recreational activities should be subject to rolling adjustments based on changing contexts. It is recommended that relevant management units consider the application of different technologies, the needs of stakeholders involved in water recreational activities, and incorporate diverse perspectives for adjusting management regulations (p. 12-13).

Sustainable Impact: aligns with SDG13.3.4 by providing crucial support to the Yilang County Government in monitoring and managing climate-related risks to the local environment. By assessing the river’s ecological sensitivity, recreational resource conditions, and carrying capacity, this project helps inform sustainable management practices for recreational activities in the area. The data and recommendations offered ensure that the development of recreational resources aligns with environmental sustainability principles, supporting early warning systems, risk monitoring, and the protection of natural resources while ensuring safe and sustainable recreational use.
