神戶港口的乾淨美麗，給台灣港口的深刻反思
為什麼台灣的港口都髒髒爛爛 下個月我要去日本神戶——一個海港起家的城市，我相信這趟旅行會給我不少震撼。 台灣作為海島，理應擁有潔淨且充滿生命力的港口，但現實是，許多港口破敗骯髒，保麗龍碎片與漁業廢棄物堆積，設施鏽蝕、凌亂。這樣的景象早已成為許多台灣人心中熟悉的痛點。 神戶：海港與城市的完美結合 在神戶，海港不是被忽視的角落，而是城市的門面與生活的一部分。商業碼頭環境整潔，設施完善，港區規劃有步道、觀景台，居民下班後會來這裡散步、看海、拍照，生活氣息濃厚。 神戶用行動打破「港口必髒」的迷思，證明港口可以是乾淨、美麗、值得驕傲的空間。 台灣港口的困境與法律現況 台灣的海岸及港口管理，主要依據下列法律，這些法律包含具體罰則，旨在保障海岸環境與港口設施的整潔與安全： 1. 《海岸管理法》 第3條：海岸管理應兼顧海岸環境保育、利用與防護，維護海岸之生態及公共利益。 第7條：中央主管機關應與地方主管機關協調推動海岸管理計畫，明訂海岸保護區範圍及管理措施。 第13條：任何人不得於海岸保護區內任意拋棄廢棄物或進行破壞海岸環境之行為。 第38條（罰則）：違反第13條、第16條、第17條規定者，處新臺幣3萬元以上30萬元以下罰鍰。 2. 《廢棄物清理法》 第9條：禁止非法棄置廢棄物於道路、河川、海岸及其他公共場所。 第65條（罰則）：違反非法棄置廢棄物規定者，處新臺幣3萬元以上300萬元以下罰鍰。 第68條：屢犯或情節重大者，得按次處罰，並得命令限期清除。 3. 《漁港法》 第12條：漁港管理機關應定期檢查漁港設施，維持設施安全及環境衛生。 第24條：漁港區域內禁止亂丟垃圾，漁會及管理單位有責任維護環境清潔。 第44條（罰則）：未依規定維護漁港設施或使漁港區域髒亂者，主管機關得限期改善，逾期不改善，處3萬元以上15萬元以下罰鍰。 4. 《水污染防治法》 第6條：禁止排放有害物質入河川、海域，避免水體污染。 第64條（罰則）：違反水污染防治規定，排放有害物質入水體者，處6萬元以上600萬元以下罰鍰，情節重大者得按日連續處罰。 執行情況與數據 海洋垃圾量仍高：根據環保署2023年統計，台灣海岸線平均每公里仍有約30公斤海洋垃圾，港口區域垃圾密度更是一般海岸的2-3倍。… Read more
