Approximately 70% of the earth's surface is covered by ocean, and 90% of the surface of the ocean overlies the water deeper than 1,000 meters, which is the field very worthy of exploration and investigation.
Taiwan, with the coastlines of several thousand kilometers, breeds very rich ecological resources, making this island country a crucial base of marine ecology study. Besides ecology research, sea exploration contains the cultural heritage, hydrology, underwater acoustics, geological survey, sand pattern change and so on.
Sea and hydrospace investigation not only is used for research, but provides the necessary information for the national marine development and offshore wind farm establishment.
TMHI integrates the research resources, and provides the marine investigation for the reliable data of environmental impact assessment (EIA), which plays a key reference for the foundation design, flow management and model calculation for the further offshore wind power development.
