碩士 === 南華大學 === 環境管理研究所 === 90 === Establishing marine protected areas is a international trend. The importance and urgency of installing marine protected areas has been outlined in “Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) ”and “Agenda 21”. Taiwan is an island with coast-line over 1,566 km and with richness and diversity of marine resources. Unfortunately, the ecosystem of Taiwan coast-line is deteriorating due to industrial pollution. It is the time to install marine protected areas in Taiwan, not only to preserve the marine resources but also to follow the trend of global environment protection. Among the Taiwan''s 6 National Parks, Kenting is the only one to have both marine and terrestrial ecosystems and is the valid suggestion to establish Taiwan''s first marine protected area. Kenting National Park can become the index in sustainable management of Taiwan’s marine environment. For attaining this purpose of this research , it’s better to make use of the document surveying and the SWOT method analyzing. The SWOT method suggests the Kenting National Park to the possibility of the sanctuary of ocean. The current governmental finance isn’t as good as before, therefore budget of conservation of Kenting National Park gets lower. This research suggests more ideas of making and saving money for Kenting National Park, improving of environment education and monitoring the marine policy of our government.
