環境資訊協會 特約記者廖靜蕙報導
六輕五期內容主要是設置輕油裂解、碳纖維、高階橡膠以及太陽光電廠。專案小組召集人說明,2月2日專案小組初審後,徵詢環保署正式解釋「六輕總體檢」不影響五期評估,2月4日再召開延續會議,建議應進行第二階段環境 影響評估,並列出11項重點。
11項評估重點包括:環境涵容能力與本計劃對區域空氣品質之影響,檢討空污排放量、用水推估以及供水不足之替代方案,含海水淡化方案;「補充健康風 險評估並研提因應對策;應就涉及變更六輕前四期環評審查書件部份,評估其合理性及對環境之影響」(註:顯示與「六輕總體檢」可能產生的衝突);海域模擬資 料及提升放流水水質之可行性;評估放流水對海域生態(含中華白海豚)之可能影響及對策;溫室氣體減量計畫,如考量碳捕捉、碳封存之規劃。最後一點是補充社 會經濟影響評估。
現場環保團體由蠻野心足生態協會王佳真代表發言表示,六輕五期審查前,應全面檢討前四期現況是否符合法規,並請本屆環評委員將「六輕總體評鑑」結果 納入六輕五期審查考量。此外,請環保署提供「六輕總體評鑑」項目內容,公告並說明評鑑結果如何回歸環評制度或監督程序中 (閱讀全文)Taiwan Environmental Information Center, TAIBEI - Responding to the Control Yuan's request that the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) conduct an "General Inspection of the Sixth Naphtha Cracker Plant" (hereafter "General Inspection") in order to clarify the Sixth Naphtha Cracker Plant's (hereafter "Sixth Cracker") environmental impact and threat to public health, the Fifth Phase Expansion of the Sixth Cracker (hereafter "Fifth Expansion") development plan also entered into the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process. Following the preliminary examination of the special investigation team and its follow up meeting convened on 2 and 4 February, and yesterday's (10 March) EIA meeting, without objection the Fifth Expansion was required to enter second phase EIA. The EIA Committee, however, paid no heed to environmental groups' position that results of the "General Inspection" should be brought into the examination of the Fifth Expansion. Moreover the EIA Committee believes that requiring major development projects to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a cross that cannot be borne. (Read More)

無法減輕填海造陸對白海豚的影響,香港專家呼籲台灣即刻採取積極行動
洪家耀也強調:「國際上已清楚確認填海造陸工程對沿岸鯨豚的影響,將令牠們僅存的部份生境完全及永久消失,且沒有可行的減緩措施以減輕填海造陸的影響。」但會上工業局仍理直氣壯提出國光石化將「蓋一條隔離水道供白海豚迴游」的謬論、水利署則持續辯稱為供應國光石化和中科四期用水計畫興建的「大度攔河堰」對白海豚影響很小,顯見這些「強勢」行政單位在「開發前提下」對生態保育態度仍如此草率;反觀現場不斷強調「弱勢」、「依法行政」的保育與環境保護主管機關,如環保署聲稱對台灣白海豚研究資料仍不足,農委會則解釋劃設重要棲息範圍仍需時間協調。洪家耀因而忍不住大聲疾呼:「學術研究及專家討論已經相當充分,台灣白海豚現在已面臨關鍵時刻,台灣必須現在就對牠們的未來存活做出果斷的決定!」(閱讀全文)
Legislator Tien Chiu-Chin and the Matsu's Fish Conservation Union invited Dr. Hung to convene a public hearing at the Legislative Yuan entitled "Strategies for Conservation of Taiwan's Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins". At the hearing each government office described the statues of its own conservation measures. The Council of Agriculture also promised to announce the range of the dolphin's “important habitat” before the end of the year, so in the future any development activities that would disturb the dolphins could be monitored and controlled under the Wildlife Conservation Act.
During the hearing, however, Dr. Hung noted that simply demarcating a protected area would be insufficient; management and supervision of the protected area, continued research and monitoring of the dolphin population status, rigorous EIA execution, and public education are all indispensable components of dolphin conservation.

血色海灣V.S.悲傷濁水溪
美國60年代當紅電視影集《飛寶》的海豚訓練師-瑞克•歐巴瑞Ric O'Barry帶領一個由社運份子和潛水精英所組成的團隊潛入日本和歌山縣太地町海灣,為揭發海豚圍捕真相,無視於警方的警告及肢體恐嚇。因為在這裡,每年有2萬3千隻的海豚遭到屠殺。瑞克 •歐巴瑞Ric O'Barry在片中所說:「若是我們無法改變什麼,那也不必理會其他更重要的事件了,因為根本就沒有希望。」(圖片提供:前景娛樂)
Ric O'Barry, the dolphin trainer from the TV show Flipper, leads a team of divers and activists who defy police warnings and physical threats to shed light on a dolphin roundup in Taiji, Japan, where 23,000 dolphins are slaughtered each year. The greater concern of the film, however, is how we are killing the oceans through overfishing. The reason they choose to make their point in Taiji, Japan is, as O’Barry says in the film, “If we can’t fix that, forget about the bigger issues. There’s no hope.”
For years, local activist groups have been fighting to save a critically endangered population of Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins in the Taiwan Strait. Industrial pollution is threatening to kill off these pink dolphins, known locally as “Matsu’s Fish.” This film, a Taiwan premier, asks the question: when will Taiwan start to take its environment seriously?
媽祖魚二度出巡 祈願生態得安寧
去年跟隨大甲媽祖走過中部縣市,宣揚保育觀念的媽祖魚陣頭(台灣媽祖魚保育聯盟),今年將再度啟程,雖然組織面臨人力財力吃緊的情況,為了台灣的海洋國寶,還是要堅持下去。我們特別向熱心保育事務的民間企業─台明將──商借媽祖魚花燈,期望能吸引更多民眾的目光。此行沿途也將募集國民信託認股人,集結眾人之力,守護媽祖魚的棲地。
然而,威脅的腳步並沒有停下,媽祖魚的棲地範圍內,各種威脅仍是無處不在:苗栗有灣寶科技園區;台中有大度攔河堰、大安大甲聯合供水及中科三期的廢水;彰化有中科四期、國光石化;雲林有台塑六輕和規劃中的六輕五期;台南則有以試驗為名、實則戕害海洋生態的雙拖網漁撈作業。
其中,近日進入二階環評審查的國光石化,更是足以定媽祖魚存亡的超級大案。研究香港白海豚十多年的洪家耀博士,在4月9日立法院公聽會上就曾直言:「不必做研究,我現在就可以告訴你,填海造陸一定會影響白海豚」。為了與國光石化抗衡,包括媽祖魚保育聯盟在內的數個環保團體共同發起國民信託,希望凝聚民間力量,購地保生態。
2010年對媽祖魚而言,是極為關鍵的一年。秉持「健康的海洋、健康的海豚、豐收的漁業、幸福的人民」的信念,媽祖魚保育聯盟帶著分外虔誠的心,追隨救苦救難媽祖婆的足跡,踏遍中部縣市,祈願台灣眾生受到庇佑,台灣生態備受福澤。
遶境期間,歡迎各媒體先進聯絡採訪!
更歡迎關心台灣未來的朋友一起加入白海豚陣頭行列!
