隨著我國科技進步的發展，海洋資源愈受重視，海洋資源開發雖可帶來巨大經濟效益，卻也令海洋生態面臨重大衝擊。為減少海洋污染事件對臺灣海洋生態環境的影響，積極推動海洋污染防治作為及提昇海洋污染事件防處及應變能力顯得相當重要。目前國內海洋油污染事件發生時，無法有效達成分工，且應變資源包含應變人力、設備及人才教育缺乏；另目前海巡署負責海洋污染應變處理人員，大多未具備專業背景，使油污染事件發生時第一時間未能有效的降低污染擴散。尤其海巡署因未享有裁量權而是被動取締。作者建議「工欲善其事、必先利其器」，無論是「藍色革命」還是「海洋興國」，再多口號，也比不上設立一賦有實權的海洋專責機關來得有幫助，希望未來成立海洋委員會時能讓臺灣成為真正的海洋國家。

Taiwan's economic development depends hugely on its marine environment. Therefore, it is particularly important for protection of the marine environment. The more booming of development of technology in Taiwan, the more attention is given to marine resources. The exploitation of marine resources brings outstanding benefits for local economy, but it also causes a huge impact on the marine ecosystem. In order to mitigate the impact of marine pollution incidents on Taiwan's marine ecosystem, much more importance should be attached to implementing aggressive ways of the prevention and control of marine pollution and enhancing the prevention of marine pollution incident handling and response capabilities. In Taiwan's response mechanism for dealing with domestic marine oil pollution incident is difficult to reach an effective way of collaboration, the competent authority has insufficient response resources (i.e. personnel, equipment and professional education); in Taiwan's competent authority, personnel who in charge of managing marine oil pollution are mostly short of qualified experience, may further impact the operations for spilt oil recovery and mitigation of pollution spreading. Particularly, because the Coast Guard Administration has no discretion so the crackdown is passive behavior. I recommend that ＂Power for good work, must first sharpen his tool＂, whether it is making slogans as ＂blue revolution＂ or ＂seeking prosperity from the ocean＂, no matter how many slogans can't compare with the establishment of a real ocean dedicated authority. Hope that Taiwan becomes a true maritime nation when establishing Ocean Affairs Council in the future.
