Taiwan is surrounded by the sea, with the lifting of the ban on coastal and sea areas, and the popular activities of the people in the sea have become more prevalent. In order to strengthen the safety and order of the recreational activities in the waters, the Ministry of Communications (the Tourism Bureau), in addition to the “Management Measures for the Recreation of Waters”, manages the water recreation activities. Regarding the management of floating equipment such as styrofoam ships, canoes and pedal boats, the Ministry of Communications (Airport Bureau) also held a conference in 103 years to formulate a "table for the allocation of powers and responsibilities for various types of waters", which is based on local governments. The spirit of autonomy shall be governed by relevant regulations in accordance with local conditions.
In order to balance the interests of the people's water and the safety of navigation and operation at sea, the Airports Administration of the Ministry of Communications has recently invited experts, scholars, the Fisheries Department, the Sea Guard and local governments to discuss the "Proposals and Precautions for the Safe Use and Activities of Floating Water in Public Waters". The draft jointly develops the guiding principles for the use of floating equipment and activities to standardize the common use of floating equipment, safety equipment and accident handling, as a reference for local governments to establish autonomous regulations for floating equipment management. In the future, the Department of Transportation's Airports Bureau plans to stipulate in the ship law that the local government's management authority for floating equipment will make the legal authorization basis more complete.
The Tourism Bureau of the Ministry of Communications has called for people to pay attention to their own safety when they are engaged in recreational activities in the waters. In particular, during the summer vacation, special attention should be paid to the carriage of styrofoam boats, canoes and pedal boats, in addition to the relevant activities of the "Regulations on the Management of Water Recreation Activities". Floating gear should pay attention to its proper scope of use and safety.
