For the conservation and management of fisheries resources off Taiwan waters with the code of responsible fishing, this study investigates fisheries activities, marine ecology, marine biological resources and coastal environment in Northeast Taiwan waters that include Keelung City, Taipei county, and I-lan County. I then follow legal regulations by using Geographic Information System to integrate with local properties, to design with long-term and broad but detailed principles, to include non-fisheries usage in view of regional and national benefits. In considering a balanced with multi-functional usage among (1) the sustainable utilization of fisheries resources (production), (2) the recreational and touring development (employment), and (3) the conservation of ecosystem (ecology), the Northeast Taiwan waters can be assigned as coastal fishing zone, special fishing zone, limited fishing zone, set-net fishing zone, marine farming zone, marine reserve, cage-culture zone, eel fry fishing zone, artificial reef area, artificial pelagic reef area, protected reef area, and multi-functional fishing harbor.
Owing to the decline of fisheries resources in Taiwan waters, we have to protect coastal marine resources and environment by proposing a sustainable utilization and management strategy that include regulated fishing effort and catches, assigned fisheries resources protected zones, disposed artificial reef areas, promoted marine farming, and allocated marine reserve. In addition, we have to endorse suspended fishing activities and reduced fishing vessels, to enforce the control of illegal fishing practice, and to encourage conservation and education. Although this research has proposed a blue print on the sustainable utilization of fisheries resources in Northeast Taiwan waters, it is however the enforcement of related plans by considering the common characteristics among regions and compensation to each other. With the principles of using resources together, sharing the resource for all, and enjoy sustainable utilization, we can establish the most profitable utilization of the fisheries resources in Taiwan waters and therefore set up as a model case for other regions.
