Environmental impacts Mitigation levels
Design 2: Aquaculture
facilities (fish+algae):
Satellite unit (not
inside the platform)+
+renewable energy:
OTEC plant not inside
the platform +leisure
facilities (accommodation +food and
beverage)
Fish and algae aquaculture: 1333 FTE
positions and GDP
impact of NT$ 1660
million (€43.35
million)
Solid and liquid
wastes: Major effect
on water and sediment
quality, benthos, fish
and turtles, marine
mammals and humans
1 Acceptable
reduction on
environmental
impacts
Noise and vibrations: Fish and turtles
and marine mammals,
the mooring will significantly affect sediment dynamics
Artificial lighting of
the fish farm units:
Pose a major impact
on marine mammals,
birds and bats and fish
and turtles
Escape of fish from
the fish cages and the
introduction of alien
species: Major impact
for plankton, benthos
and fish and turtles
2 Optimal levels
of conservation and high
visitor
satisfaction
Renewable energy +
accommodation, restaurant, sky lounge,
garden and store
Heat energy: Major
effect on water temperature and the
pelagic flora and fauna
Solid and liquid
wastes: Major effect
on water and sediment
quality, benthos, fish
and turtles, marine
mammals and humans
