Abstract:
Taiwan Power Company tries to solve the warm water from outlet affecting water temperature of intake for the purpose of protecting power generation of Linkou Power Plant runs well. Therefore, the company subscribed the research project to Institute of Harbor and Marine Technology (IHMT). The author was in charge of this project and supervising for improving the arrangement of Intake and outlet structures. Linkou Power Plant is located in the North- Western coast of Taiwan. Tamsui river and Linco river located in the east side(upstream) and Nan Kang river located in the west side(downstream). Sediment transport around Linkou Power Plant is very active. This research is also concerning about how to prevent sediment silting the intake. In summer, water temperature is higher and the reverse tidal current bring warm water (from outlet discharged) to increase the intake water temperature. Due able to Diffusion effect of the thermal discharged from outlet, it is easily affect the function of power generation and probably decrease the efficiency of power generation. Therefore a lot of field survey using echo-sounding to measure sea bottom topographic change, currents( tidal current, Nearshore current and alongshore current etc) measurement, waves and littoral drift are measured to supply the Hydraulic Thermal Diffusion Test in the basin (60m x45m x1m) of physical model. Through above physical model experimental results, an optimal arrangement of intake and out let structures are proposed for future improvement of the Linkou Power Plant.

Abstract:
India has a vast coastline of 8000 km, of which, 5, 423 km belong to Peninsular India and 2, 094 km to the Andaman, Nicobar, and Lakshadweep Islands, and with an EEZ of 2.02 million sq. km. There are about 13,000 recorded marine species in India. Indian coastal zones have a variety of habitats like mangrove, estuarine, coral reefs, sea grass beds, lagoons, sand dunes, rocky shore, cliffs, intertidal mud flats, etc. Coastline of India has also supports nearly 250 million people and the ecological services of marine and coastal ecosystems of India play a vital role in India’s economy growth. The marine floral diversity includes 844 species of marine alga (sea weeds) belonging to 217 genera, 14 species of sea grasses and 69 species of mangroves. The marine faunal diversity includes a wide variety of life forum. The Indian coastal water harbours 451 species of sponges, more than 200 species of corals, more than 2900 species of crustacean, 3370 species of marine molluscs, more than 200 species of bryozoans, 765 species of echinoderm, 47 species of tunicates, more than 1300 marine fishes, 26 species of sea snakes, 5 species of sea turtles and 30 species of marine mammals including dugong, dolphins, whales etc. In addition a wide variety of sea birds can be observed around the coast. There are ten species of sharks and rays including whale shark, all species of sea horses, all cetaceans, dugong, nine species of shells, five species of sea turtles, one species of otter, all species of corals, all species of sponges and all holothurians that occur in coastal and marine areas of India are considered under threat, therefore, protected under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 by listing them in the Schedule. Major anthropogenic direct drivers of ecosystem degradation and destruction include habitat conversion to other forms of land use, overexploitation of species and associated destructive harvesting practices, spread of invasive alien species, and the impacts of pollution from agricultural, domestic and industrial effluents. In this paper, the major issues related to coastal and marine biodiversity conservation and measures taken to address them have been highlighted.

Abstract:
Taiwan Coastal zones have a lot of functions,especially offshore eastern Orchid Island and Green island of richful marine ecological life—deep sea fishing, hot spring spa around island coastal zones and beautiful ecological biology. There are belong to non-polluted sea area. Passengers of visiting and touring Offshore Islands become more and urgent. Demand of t Exceptransportation ships for people 500-1000 each trip is necessary instead of aircraft of 12 seats or 19 seats. MOTC need to pan for more passengers and more luggage even transportation vehicle for carrying to offshore islands using.. Therefore marine traffic ship is currently necessary. The design of the proposed port and wharf area are then chosen for Survey and design. Taitung port ( Fu-Gang), Lanyu Island( Kai-Yen port) and Green Island( Nan Liaw port) are tentatively pointed for field survey and preliminary planning and design. Owing to the mutual influence of shipping operation, industry distribution and government policy, the local long distance container transport has become a serious problem of highway transportation system. After the forthcoming opening of container terminal of Taipei Port, the container mainline will be connected to Taipei port.The The development of coastal container shipping will transfer part of the container flow from road transportation to sea borne transportation. The congestion of highway will hence reduced and improve our living quality. The escalation of the port service quality in the northern port of Taiwan will be positive impact to the operation of the coastal container shipping industry. Except improvement of the port service quality of northern Taiwan.,The oceanographic condition of northern port is heavily affected coastal container shipping quality. Therefore the northern port is selected as the field survey and design of proposed harbour of coastal shipping system. Winds(The whole year Wind Rose Analytical Diagram) Wave measurement. Boring of foundation earth condition.( soil test) and design of proposed harbour breakwaters and wharves are presented in this paper. The coastal shipping for cargoes(involve container) and passengers(involve luggage) transportation for offshore islands are well planned.

Abstract:
The study was conducted to gather first hand data on the feasibility of oyster hatchery in the Philippines specifically in Samar as one of the primary producers of oysters in Region VIII, Visayas area. Induced spawning Philippine cupped oyster Crassostrea iredali Faustino, 1932 through thermal shock was investigated. Five (5), temperatures was tested namely; 40oC, 30oC, 27oC, 20oC, and 15oC. A pre-conditioning protocol was established. Oyster’s length ranging from 9.6 to 12.6cm spawned effectively when exposed to higher temperatures compared to lower temperatures. Induced spawning was effective at 30oC compared to 27oC treatments which spawned constantly over 5 runs. 40oC was lethal to the experimental animal. No success in stimulating spawning in cold temperatures at 20oC and 15oC was observed. Spawning rates was at 1,338,034 cells/650ml/female in 30oC, and 825,735 cells/650ml/female in 27oC respectively, and did differ significantly at (P>0.05). Immersal periods were shorter in 30oC at 1.82 hours compared to 27oC at 2.05 hours which differ statistically at (P>0.05). Fertilized eggs produced from 30oC was better in terms of survival or egg density per hour from fertilized egg to trocophore stage compared to that of produced at ambient temperature 27oC.

Abstract:
The Egyptian Mediterranean coastal area lies between Sallom west and Rafah East, about 1100km, is enjoying high an economic value and ecological variability . They offer a wide variety of valuable habitats and ecosystem services that have always attracted humans and human activities. Egypt has a promising plan for the management of Mediterranean coastal area including the improvement of fisheries and aquaculture . Macro-phytes provides the fuel of life to the coastal ecosystems . Substrates , Salinity , water temperature and the Water transparency are the most important factors controlling the Marine Algal Biodiversity.
Environmental conditions are variable within the 100m depth of the water along the Egyptian coast . It is closer to the shore to the west and the distance gradually increases to the east. At Port Said it is furthest from the shore and further east it becomes closer again. This is caused by the alluvial cone that has built up in front of the mouth of the Nile in the Delta area. So the macro-phyte community structures are variable . Although there were many works on the coastal vegetation , the marine macro-phytes were scarcely and occasionally explored . Many lists had been published from Alexandria , some from Port-Said but still the image of distribution along the western and Sinai coasts are vague. We investigated the floristic elements and vegetation types in terms of species composition as well as diversity and adaptation in the different environmental conditions along the coast of Egypt on the Mediterranean . Seasonal field investigations, observations and collections of Seaweeds ,Sea-grasses and associated Blue-Greens were carried out in the Western Egyptian coastal area(2000-2010). About 410 Taxa ; 30.Blue greens and 380 Seaweeds were encountered in this work. Comparison and analysis of data collected ,with occasional collections as well as previously recorded data and measurements demonstrates 5 Eco-zones for the distribution of benthic vegetation along the Egyptian Mediterranean Coast. The 5 zones are different in the environmental conditions supporting life , reproduction and distribution of Seaweeds as well as their diversity. 5 species of Sea-grasses had been encountered in this study for their support of life to many epiphytic algal species as well as the Blue Greens inhabitants in their meadows. These findings helped in drawing a good picture on the diversity and distribution of macro-phytes in time and space , quantitatively and qualitatively . The resulted lists with the knowledge of the dominant currents gave an idea of the possibility of migration for many species from the western basin via the Tunisian and Libyan coasts. This can contribute to the knowledge, and development for best practices in managing coastal zones in the Egyptian Mediterranean .

Title: Effectiveness of using square mesh windows and Tortoise mesh on Shrimps trawl in Samar Sea, Philippines
Time : 15:10 - 15:40
Biography:
Renato C. Diocton has his expertise in assessment and evaluation in improving the coastal zone and marine protected areas.. He has been involved several project on coastal aquaculture and fisheries biology particularly on marine biodiversity. Recent project was on the use of square mesh windows and tortoise shape of mesh in cod end of shrimp trawl fisheries. He has been involved in the promotion of Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management (EAFM) to local government units in the Samar province to substitute the traditional tool to fisheries management that is Coastal Resource Management to allow new tools to manage complex ecosystem lie the Samar Sea. Code of conduct on responsible fisheries (CCRF) is one of the major activities in the near future that is to be implemented by the university.
Abstract:
The study was conducted to determine and evaluate the effectiveness of square and tortoise type windows on shrimp trawl with an aim to minimize and regulate the bycatch within shrimp trawlers in Samar Sea. Results showed that there is no statistically significant difference in escapement or bycatch reduction using square mesh and tortoise shaped windows in the codend (P≤0.05). Bycatch forms an average 24% of the total catch at a relative fishing efficiency of 4.7 kg per hour of towing. Dominant species exploited was from the family Leiognathidae (slipmouths), forming 71% of the total catch when using the two window types. Although statistically not significant, we recommend using the tortoise shaped window which has a higher mean length escapement compared to the square mesh window. Its tortoise shaped mesh opening favors escapement of deep bodied fishes such as slipmouth. It could as well increase fish survival after escapement due to its shape that reduces contact to the window as fish escapes.

Title: Management of Industrial Wastewater Ocean Discharge in Korea
Time : 16:15 -16:45
Biography:
Seoweon Jo has completed her Master from INHA University in Korea and working for Korea Institute of Industrial Technology as a researcher. Her main job is to support SMEs to well comply national/international environmental regulations through diverse program such as regular education, seminars, international workshops etc. Also, she is doing on-line/off-line cunsultation regarding environmental regulations, especially chemical regulations for the companies.
Abstract:
In August 2016, Korean press media released the news highlighting the discharge of hazardous chemicals from power plant into surfaces waters of the sea in Ulsan area. The power plant used antifoaming agent which contains hazardous substance(dimethylpolysiloxane) to reduce the formation of foam for cooling system. Ministry of Maritime Affaires and Fisheries in Korea announced that the plant violate the law(Marine Environment Management) because Dimethylpolysiloxane(PDMS) is a prohibited substance to discharge into the sea as a Noxious Liquid Substances by MARPOL 73/78. However, there is no standard to apply as a noxious liquid substance and no one knows the power plant is in the scope of Marine facilities of that law. ME(Ministry of Environment) and MOTIE(Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy) argued it is uncertain how to discharge and there is no standards to apply. In this reason, MOTIE & KITECH started feasibility study research of the regulations. This follow up study investigated how treat and discharge wastewater containing hazardous chemicals from a facility, especially, power plants and companies in shore line. The primary objective is to find a reasonable method to make standards related in discharging industrial wastewater

Abstract:
Expanding coastal developments and Population pressures are one of the major threat to coastal environment in Lakshadweep Islands. The small Islands are greatly effects by sea level rise and climate change which are expected to exert greater pressure on Island ecosystem, exacerbating erosion, degrading habitat and accelerating shoreline retreat in Islands. The Lakshadweep government has made embankment structures such as tetrapods, hollo blocks, and seawalls for the protection of 77 km out of 121.27 km shorelines in Island. Despite wide spread use on all types of shoreline information about the ecological effects of beach ecotone region is quite limited. It is evident to note that the ecological impacts of armoring leads to alterations of coastal seascape and related effects on the depression and connectivity in marine population. It is also result in the fragmentation, degradation and lose of native sedimentary with impact on biodiversity, biotic communities and populations. The armoring structure placed along Kadmat Island showing poor diversity of natural fauna and flora compared to free beaches. Placing of engineered structure parallel to beaches do not contribute anything against erosion check, but accelerated sand movement and restrict accretion in some areas. These structures also contribute the development of alien species by eroding natural species from the biota and creates corridors for hard bottom species. The poor ecosystem diversity and declining abundance of pray resource in armored locations lost the feeding ground of migratory birds. The present study summarized the ecological effects due to the armoring at Kadmat Island Lakshadweep.
