淡水河水系整治已初具成效，現在已步入水域遊憩利用，為期永續發展須以低碳綠色觀念為主導，與河流良性互動，尊重自然生態。且將自然資源、考古歷史與人文資源、基礎設施、觀光設施及服務，與觀光發展影響因子中的資源，通盤的掌握。淡水河域綠色旅遊以水域之藍色公路渡輪為主幹，將區塊的自然生態及人文資產將其序列串連，以低碳綠色之水路交通工具整體思考的規劃予以補足。這項工程必須兩岸市民全程參與，過程中將綠色遊憩的認知能讓市民接受進而落實。政府要全面的思考納入各地方的特色序列串連作出整體之規劃，以期把社會基層的最大力量開發出來。將淡水河自然生態環境與兩岸人文資源之現況，思考綠色旅遊方案及可行性，並以在經濟發展與環境議題雙贏之規劃，營造永續發展的水環境，創新綠色經濟。
