屏東縣政府交通旅遊處公告預訂於09/05日召開「小琉球八七高地開發案」地方說明會,計畫以「生態休閒」為名,將琉球嶼最高峰-八七高地開發為「海上高地樂園」,興建遊客中心、生存遊戲場、戶外探索遊具、水上教堂等設施。

小琉球近年每到假日渡輪一票難求,遊客交通事故頻傳,其水電資源不足、垃圾爆量、廢污水排放…更是當地頭痛的問題,遊客量明顯已過載,許多地方都已被過度開發。縣政府應該思考的是如何進行登島人流控管、提高遊客體驗品質,而非再行破壞自然環境,添加與當地不相合宜的設施。

「八七高地」標高87m,是小琉球最高峰,又叫「琉球嶼山」,上面有一顆一等三角點,是小琉球少數植被覆蓋尚良好的綠色山頭,也是當地二級保育鳥類飛烏鳥(灰面鵟鷹)和桸仔鳥(赤腹鷹)春秋過境期少數僅存的棲息據點之一。屏東鳥會籲請縣政府應為社會民眾表率,努力維護自然資源,退回不當的八七高地開發案。

Results from the 2023 Taiwan Black-faced Spoonbill Census showed a total of 4,228 Black-faced Spoonbills in Taiwan, a new record and the first time over 4,000 have been recorded

After two years, a critically endangered Spoon-billed Sandpiper, No. 88, reappeared in Tainan, Taiwan. The sighting took place last week during a coastal survey as part of the Ocean Conservation Administration's "2023 Seabird Population Survey Plan" carried out by the Forestry Wildlife Lab of National Taiwan University.

時隔2年,臺灣本島再度出現珍稀候鳥琵嘴鷸的行蹤!臺灣大學野生動物研究室執行海洋保育署《112年度海鳥族群調查計畫》沿岸調查時,在臺南七股與將軍附近的鹽灘地發現了睽違已久的足旗編號88號的琵嘴鷸,這隻88號曾於2019年與2020年冬季在臺南將軍濕地被鳥友觀察到,由於數量實在稀少,行蹤難以掌握,台灣本島也已至少2年未有目擊琵嘴鷸的紀錄。88號琵嘴鷸再次返回台南鹽灘地,驗證了遷徙候鳥對棲地的忠誠性,也在在反映了保護棲地的使命與重要性。

88號琵嘴鷸在2019年6月於俄羅斯東邊的楚科奇自治區海邊被研究人員繫放,足旗顏色為淺綠色,印有黑字編號88號,位置在左腳。同年冬天牠就來到臺灣的臺南度冬。琵嘴鷸每年會在太平洋的西岸進行南北遷徙,夏季在東亞北方繁殖,冬季往南飛到東南亞或南亞沿海度冬,韓國、日本、中國、台灣等地的沿海濕地,在過境期均有琵嘴鷸的出現紀錄,台灣則偶爾有度冬的紀錄。

行政院農業委員會特有生物研究保育中心(以下簡稱特生中心)運用「臺灣繁殖鳥類大調查(Taiwan Breeding Bird Survey)」的資料,分析100種繁殖鳥於2011年至2019年間的數量變化趨勢,並建置「臺灣森林鳥類指標」及「臺灣農地鳥類指標」兩項國家級指標。趨勢和指標將會定期更新,做為監測臺灣繁殖鳥類生存狀態及保育成效的重要儀表板。同時也是臺灣反映在2030年前實現聯合國生物多樣性公約目標「自然正成長(Nature-Positive)」。此舉為亞洲第二個發布複合物種指標的國家,已開放全文刊登於國際學術期刊「生態指標(Ecological Indicators)」

The Taiwan Endemic Species Research Institute (TESRI) under the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan analyzed data from the Taiwan Breeding Bird Survey to understand population trends for 100 species of breeding birds during the period of 2011 to 2019. In doing so, two national indicators for birds were established, one for Taiwan's forest birds and one for Taiwan's farmland birds.

Tainan City's Chiku and Jiangjun salt pan wetlands are vital stopover and wintering sites for migratory birds. Due to the critical importance of these areas, six non-governmental organizations formed the Chiku and Jiangjun Salt Pan Wetlands Restoration Alliance and jointly adopted 1,605 ha of salt pans from Taiwan's National Property Administration in April 2022. On January 7th, 2023, members of the alliance gathered in the adopted land to conduct bird surveys as part of the Taiwan New Year Bird Count, a citizen science driven event which aims to monitor the population and trends of Taiwan's wintering avifauna. Nearly 20,000 individuals from a total of 85 species were recorded, including globally threatened species such as the Black-faced Spoonbill.

台南七股、將軍鹽田濕地是重要的冬候鳥棲息地,關心在地生態的民間團體組成了「七股將軍鹽灘地濕地復育聯盟」,向國有財產署認養了1,605公頃的鹽田。近日聯盟成員首次齊聚一堂,在認養的鹽田進行新年數鳥活動,共記錄到85種、近2萬隻的鳥類,其中也包含許多全球關注的受脅候鳥。聯盟成員向全國大眾呼籲一起來欣賞、關心美好的鹽田濕地生態!

The application of photovoltaic systems to aquaculture farms (hereinafter referred to as Aqua-PV) has been actively promoted by the Executive Yuan as an important means of accelerating Taiwan's energy transformation. While Aqua-PV in open fields is done using ground-mounted systems with a maximum of 40% ground-coverage ratio, indoor Aqua-PV is done using rooftop systems which permit a much higher PV coverage ratio of 80%. Although indoor Aqua-PV seems more profitable, indoor fish farming is more technologically demanding as it requires 24-hour water quality treatment. Because of this, solar developers need to bring in new teams or cooperate with bigger fish farming businesses to set up aquaculture systems. Yet solar developers and investors believe that indoor Aqua-PV projects are more easily controlled and a less risky business venture compared with outdoor projects where there is more necessity to deal with traditional fish farming practices and management styles. Therefore, although the cost per unit area of ​​indoor projects is much higher than that of outdoor projects, it is now the favored method. Last month, one project secured a massive syndicated loan totaling NTD$8.88 billion (USD$291.3 million) from several banks, setting a record for the highest amount ever provided for an Aqua-PV project in Taiwan. Compared with traditional aquaculture in open fields, indoor projects would permanently alter the land use and should be permitted only after special consideration. However, there is currently a lack of relevant environmental and social regulations and little to no management guidelines for indoor Aqua-PV. Without proper action now, large-scale development of indoor Aqua-PV projects will likely get out of control, resulting in serious environmental degradation and aquaculture problems.

室內型漁電共生養殖場(下稱室內漁電),是現今行政院力推的重要能源轉型方向。室內漁電屬於屋頂型光電,光電板覆蓋率可達土地面積的80%,遠高於戶外漁電共生覆蓋率40%;此外,室內養殖是採24小時水質處理的環境控制技術,具高技術門檻,發電業者多半需引入新的養殖團隊,或跟企業化的養殖戶合作的方式進行養殖,因此發電方及融資方認為相較戶外漁電共生多半需與原傳統養殖個體戶合作,室內養殖是較可控、風險較低的經營方式。因此,雖然室內漁電較戶外漁電的單位面積成本高出許多,但反而更受光電業者青睞,據了解近來申請案件數已遠超過戶外漁電。近期更有案例,得到了銀行團88.8億的鉅額貸款,創下2022年台灣金額最高的漁電共生聯貸紀錄。室內漁電是在魚塭上填土蓋建築物,相比戶外漁電是大幅增加了土地的使用強度,但目前卻缺乏相關環境社會檢核和漁業管理機制。大規模開發下很有可能失控,進而造成嚴重的環境破壞與漁業問題。
