To date, the Tainan County government has only protected one-eighth of the 5000 hectares of wetlands in which the birds forage, and testing equipment has yet to be installed in even this area. Meanwhile, there has been a sharp increase in the numbers of recreational facilities, fishponds, and oyster trays on the edges of this area.
尤其黑面琵鷺覓食區廣達五千公頃，近來政府僅只公告保護其中的八分之一，保護區環境監測系統尚未建立，周遭遊憩設施、蚵架與魚塭卻不斷增加。
