To make matters worse, Kuokuang Petrochemical Technology Co. is making plans to invest NT $ 400 billion in a complex to be built on a 2,800-hectare land reclamation project along the coast in the Changhua County townships of Dacheng and Fangyuan. These coastal waters are a passageway for the endangered humpback dolphins, which live and feed there as they move along a north-south path parallel to the coast.
雪上加霜的是，背負振興經濟重責大任、投資額高達新台幣 4,000 億元的國光石化，將於彰化縣大城鄉、芳苑鄉沿岸填海造地 2,800 公頃，這段海岸正是危在旦夕的白海豚南北洄游的通道和覓食棲地。
