In addition, the Chinese white dolphin, Sousa chinensis, has been listed as Appendix I category in the red book of IUCN, with first priority in China. In the last decade, Hong Kong and China continually set natural ecological preservation park for this rare species. The highly polluted or disturbed environment due to high civilization and fishery activities in Taiwan`s west coastal waters have threaten the survival of this species. Based on the previous studies, we confirmed that they appear at the west coastal waters, from Miaoli to Tainan counties, and have large number in the Coastal Waters of Chiayi County and Wai-san-ting Chou where may be reproductive habitat and must be conserved. This project will continue investigating the population ecology of Sousa chinensis in the Coastal Waters of Taichung, Chiayi County and Wai-san-ting Chou. Furthermore, we will start the population survey in the east coast, and to estimate the cetacean relative abundance, density and population size. Our results are expected to serve as critical baseline data for making conservation policy in the near future.鯨豚中華白海豚保育族群棲地鯨豚目擊努力量指數cetaceanSousa chenensisConservationPopulation
