墾丁國家公園展示了正確的水上活動管理辦法：
這應該要成為水域遊憩發展觀光相關部門的正式標語。該告示牌上清楚地說明了：游泳是被允許的，但墾丁國家公園並不為你的個人安全負責。這才是正確的做法，根本不需要搬出發展觀光條例第36條。我希望其他台灣的相關部門有好好的作筆記。
而目前有哪些地方搬出該條法規來禁止水上活動的呢？以下是一些例子：
新北市？蚯蚓坑、嶺腳瀑布、象鼻岩
台中市？基本上所有水域都被套上發展觀光條例第36條的緊箍，尤其是在仙女瀑布和大安溪大峽谷這樣的開放水域。
雲林？也該是時候重新開放萬年峽谷了！在民眾在那裡曾經發生過的意外事件也從來跟游泳/玩水無關。該法條根本是被錯誤使用。
南投？玉門關只有在颱風來臨時會有洪水發生。常年關閉並非必要手段。
太魯閣國家公園？「請維持在高處健行活動，遠離河川！」這實在太浪費觀光資源了。
台東？在活水湖活動區域聘雇救生員，然後不讓大家下水。。。是在哈囉？都有救生員了，那就請他們好好工作，看顧戲水民眾。如果沒有救生員，就請立起標語：「本海/水域為開放水域，無設置海邊巡邏員。民眾從事海域遊憩活動時，請注意自身安全。」
台電？經濟部水利署？日月潭、石門水庫、還有台灣其他湖泊：政府允許動力船行駛，卻禁划獨木舟。不要用現有的法條來懲罰進行娛樂活動的民眾，而該爭取新的立法，來移除相關部門在民眾進行個人娛樂活動時所發生意外的責任。提高水域活動的安全性並非政府的責任；在水域活動的那些人才該為個人安全負全責。
「本海/水域為開放水域，無設置海邊巡邏員。民眾從事海域遊憩活動時，請注意自身安全。」
墾丁國家公園的正確告示，你們好棒：）
New Taipei City? The Wormhole, Lingjiao Waterfall, Elephant Trunk Rock
Taichung City? Basically everywhere, they toss article 36 around left and right, but especially Fairy Waterfall and Da’an Grand Canyon
Yunlin? It’s time to open up Wannian Canyon. People involved in accidents were never swimming anyway. This law was misapplied.
Nantou? Jade Gate only floods during a typhoon. Closing it year round is not necessary.
Taroko National Park? Hike in high places only. Stay out of the river. This is a crying shame.
Taitung? Hired lifeguards to patrol Flowing Lake and tell people to get out of the water. What was the point? If you have lifeguards just observe people swimming. If you don’t, they put up a sign that says “No Lifeguard on Duty, Swim at Your Own Risk”
Kenting National Park demonstrates the correct way to manage recreational water sports. “No lifeguard on duty, swim at your own risk” should become the official mantra of the watersports tourism development. This sign clearly states that swimming is allowed, but that Kenting National
Park is not responsible for your safety. This is the correct way to do it. There is no reason to invoke Article 36 of the Act for Tourism Development. I hope that other authorities around Taiwan are taking note.
Taipower? WRA? Sunmoon Lake, Shimen Reservoir, and other lakes in Taiwan. You have powerboats but ban kayaks. Don’t use current legislation to penalize people for recreational sports. Fight for legislation to remove liability from recreational sports. Enforcing water safety isn’t your responsibility. People are responsible for their own safety in the water.
There is no lifeguard on duty. Swim at your own risk.
Props to Kenting National Park for understanding this.
