摘要 Abstract
（本文尚待排版與校對）
本文探討臺灣離岸風電發展過程中，圍繞白海豚保育議題所展開的社會技術想像演練，並以公共推理（public reasoning）過程中的公民認識論路徑組合為基礎，分析兩種歧異的自然想像：以「優先棲地」為核心的復舊式想像與以「點狀聲源」為基礎的減緩式想像，而兩者各自有其侷限。從確認臺灣海域白海豚族群的存在，到白海豚被列為第一級瀕臨絕種野生動物，保育運動逐步建立了法律和科學合理性基礎。以在地白海豚保育運動為主的跨國生態知識聯盟，與離岸風電環評為主的產業學界聯盟逐步浮現，兩者的公共推理行動各有其不確定性與價值投注；一系列的風場環評是保育團體、環境顧問、學者、政府部門、開發商，在水下噪音管制、生態調查方法、衝擊減緩措施等議題上進行的知識政治，並以重層「與時俱進」之管制方案為方向，構築了一處累積的公共推理空間。新興之海洋聲景研究是人類的環境照護職責（environmental care）之許諾。此案例分析能夠替治理離岸風電的未來想像提供實踐方法論。
關鍵詞：社會技術想像、公共推理、離岸風電、水下噪音、臺灣白海豚

This study examines the sociotechnical imaginaries surrounding white dolphin conservation during Taiwan's offshore wind development. Using public knowledge-ways within public reasoning processes as the analytical foundation, it illustrates two divergent approaches: the, priority habitat, restorative imaginary and the, point source, mitigation-centred imaginary; each carries inherent limitations. From identifying white dolphin populations to their classification as endangered wildlife, conservation efforts established legal and scientific foundations. Two alliances emerged: a transnational ecological coalition led by local conservation movements, and an industry-academic alliance centred on environmental impact assessments, engaging in knowledge politics over social acceptability. Both reasoning endeavours involve uncertainties and value commitments, spanning debates on cetacean ecology, underwater acoustics, and emerging bioacoustics research. Environmental assessments facilitated negotiations among conservation groups, consultants, researchers, government agencies, and developers on underwater noise regulation, ecological survey methods, and impact mitigation measures, creating a cumulative space for public reasoning that embodies transforming sociotechnical imaginaries. Emerging marine soundscapes research represents a commitment to environmental care responsibilities, thereby providing a methodology for governing future imaginaries of offshore wind development.
