Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 海洋法律研究所 === 97 === Marine Protected Area is concerned as an important method to maintain biodiversity and to save endangered species. The conservation and management of marine living resources is discussed in many International Conventions. Besides, many developed countries are devoted to protect marine resources and to establish various Marine Protected Areas. Accordingly, the protection about biodiversity and the sustainable development on resources have become universal consensus. Taiwan is surrounded and influenced by sea and is blessed with bountiful resources, especially in coral reef ecosystems. Except Dongsha Marine National Park established in 2007, Penghu, Lyudao and Lanyu all have abundant coral resources and also need to be protected. Positively, our local appreciations for ocean is far below than other coastal states. Most of the Marine Protected Area regulations made are incomplete and unsuitable with relevant ocean protection work divided into separate office divisions resulting in ineffective management. Most Marine Protected Area regulations are incomplete and relevant ocean protection works disperse in different institutions resulting in ineffective achievements. In order to effectively display Maine Protected Area’s function, the first goal is to complete relevant regulations and to make reasonable policies and regulations. The target of this thesis is to provide suggestions in Marine Protected Area’s regulations and policies after consulting relevant regulations applied in international policies, international customary laws, international treaties and other state practices. It is expected that Taiwan is able to complete Marine Protected Area’s regulations to reach the goal of the sustainable development. Therefore, Taiwan may achieve the purpose of being a virtual marine State and create a new ocean era.
