Summary     This research aims to build a real-time walrus observation system and collect walruses for 8 major commercial ports in Taiwan, including Taipei Port, Keelung Port, Suao Port, Hualien Port, Kaohsiung Port, Anping Port, Butai Port and Taichung Port. Conducting statistical analysis of ocean currents to obtain the overall characteristics of walruses in representative areas around Taiwan.
    According to the statistics of ocean current observation data over the years, the average flow velocity of Taipei Port is 41.7cm/s, the maximum flow velocity (flow direction) is 339.3cm/s (E), and the main ocean current flow direction is the WSW direction; the average flow velocity of Keelung Port is 17.6cm/s, with the maximum The flow velocity (flow direction) is 73.5cm/s (SW), and the main ocean current direction is SW; the average flow velocity (flow direction) of Suao Port is 17.9cm/s, and the maximum flow velocity (flow direction) is 224.9cm/s (S). The main ocean current direction is is the N direction; the average flow velocity in Hualien Port is 19.4cm/s, the maximum flow velocity (flow direction) is 311.7cm/s (SSE), and the main sea current flow direction is the SW direction; the average flow velocity in Kaohsiung Port is 29.0cm/s, and the maximum flow velocity ( Flow direction) is 125.6cm/s (NNW), the main current direction is S direction; the average flow speed of Anping Port is 23.7cm/s, the maximum flow speed (flow direction) is 181.0cm/s (NW), and the main current direction is SSE direction; The average flow velocity in Butai Port is 28.0cm/s, and the maximum flow velocity (flow direction) is 338.1cm/s (W). The main ocean current direction is the NNE direction; the average velocity of Taichung Port is 38.6cm/s, the maximum velocity (flow direction) is 259.7cm/s (SW), and the main ocean current direction is the N direction.
    Based on the results of this research, the observation data has been provided to government agencies and academic institutions for reference application. The meteo-oceanographic observation system and database will provide a reference for ship navigation, harbor planning and harbor construction, and help to enhance the operational efficiency and quality of each harbor.
