The global response to climate emergencies and the 2050 net-zero emissions pathway, as well as the reduction of human reliance on fossil fuels, has led countries to seek environmentally friendly energy sources. The promotion of renewable energy, such as solar, wind, and marine energy, represents an opportunity for energy transformation. Wind power is an important part of the renewable energy industry and is highly valued and developed internationally. Taiwan's energy supply is heavily reliant on imports, with fossil fuels having the highest dependence. In response to the international trend of global warming and greenhouse gas reduction, the government initiated large-scale offshore wind farm development in 2018, planning to construct thousands of offshore wind turbines in the western sea area of Taiwan. The aim is to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation to 20% by 2025, achieving the vision of a non-nuclear homeland.The construction of offshore wind turbines may cause changes in the marine ecosystem and biodiversity, leading to the succession of biological resources and species composition, including fish and benthic organisms. It is an urgent and important issue that requires investigation and research. Taiwan's government's promotion of offshore wind farm development has a significant lack of related research on the ecological environment and biodiversity changes in the perimeter sea area of the wind farm. Therefore, it is essential to explore and conduct research on the impact of wind farm construction on the ecological environment and biological resources in the perimeter sea area. This project aims to pre-investigate and establish baseline data for future research on offshore wind farms and the development of ecological conservation policies.This study focuses on Miaoli
