The most stringent "catching ban" to protect a river fish

On the main stream of the Yangtze River and the major tributaries of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, such as the Minjiang River, Tuojiang River, Chishui River, and Jialing River, the fishing boats that used to be weaving have disappeared

In the face of the "fish-free" dilemma and the deteriorating ecology of the Yangtze River, a ten-year ban on fishing can be regarded as a century-old plan to protect the Yangtze River

【Case】

At around 10 am on November 30th, at the Wuhan Fishery Administration Wharf on the Yangtze River, 12 law enforcement officers released 73.

According to reports, this batch of fish includes 7 species of green, grass, bream, crucian, silver carp, silver carp, and yellow catfish, all of which are original species of the Yangtze River

In order to protect the ecological environment of the Yangtze River, as early as 18 years ago, the former Ministry of Agriculture began to implement a three-month spring ban on fishing in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River

Plan for the overall situation and plan for future generations

Chen Zhongguo, a villager in Longzhou Village, Libu Town, Jingzhou District, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province, has been fishing for generations

Huang Jun, director of the Yangtze River Banning Office of Jingzhou City, introduced that since the Yangtze River’s ban on fishing, Jingzhou has taken the lead in exploring the management, use and approval of their logos, the use and approval of their logos, and their involvement in the “three nos” fishing boats with no name, no ship certificate, and no registry Check

Under the "most prohibition order", the ban on arrest is the starting point to tackle tough problems

Poyang Lake has a vast water area, and the supervision of protected areas and fishery law enforcement have heavy tasks and great responsibilities

The Yangtze River Estuary is the most important fish migration channel and breeding habitat of the Yangtze River, and its ecological status is very important

After the implementation of the fishing ban policy for a period of time, the fishery resources in the Yangtze River Basin have recovered to some extent, and the effect of the fishing ban has initially appeared

【Case】

Not long ago, Chen Zhide, a 46-year-old fisherman from Nanchong City, Sichuan, invested the subsidy for retiring fishing and converting into production in Nanchong Zhide Salvage Co.

Chen Zhide is a typical representative of more than 230,000 fishermen who retreated from catching fishermen in 14 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River

“In the past, the resources of the Yangtze River were getting less and less, the ecology was getting worse, and the fishermen were getting poorer and poorer
.
” Yu Kangzhen, the vice minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the implementation of the Yangtze River ban on catching has not only solved the serious decline of aquatic biological resources and biodiversity in the Yangtze River Basin.
The objective requirement of the ecological dilemma of declining sex is also an effective way to break the "tragedy of the commons" caused by the decentralized competitive fishing of "one family, one family", and to change the livelihood dilemma of fishermen "no fish in the water and no land on the shore".
Long-term profit planning for fishermen
.

After the fishing ban, how to properly carry out the resettlement of fishermen to ensure that they can retreat, stay stable, and become rich has become the biggest livelihood consideration for the ten-year ban
.

After the ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, in order to help retreat fishermen to better complete the role change and solve the production and life problems of fishermen after retreating from fishing, Hubei Province plans to select some retreat fishermen for training and post, and establish fishermen teams throughout the province to resettle the poor nearby.
Personnel take up jobs, are responsible for the task of protecting fishing in natural waters, and accelerate the transformation of the Yangtze River’s fishing ban from "regulating everyone" to "regulating everyone
.
"

In order to ensure the implementation of the "catching ban", the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, and the Ministry of Finance have also promoted the establishment of fishery administration assistance patrol teams in the Yangtze River Basin in East Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake (Hukou County, Poyang County, 9 key water areas including Lianxi District, Jiujiang City), the mainstream of the Yangtze River (Yibin, Yichang, Anqing, and Yangzhou) and the Hewangmiao Finless Porpoise Conservation Area in Hubei Province, composed of fishermen who have changed production to assist the patrol team to participate in the protection of aquatic life Work related to living things and habitats
.
Assisting patrols to innovate the "specialized management and group management" system, filling the gaps in international aquatic wildlife patrols
.

As of November 27, 128,258 people in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin have been converted to employment, accounting for 98.
35% of the employment base that needs to be converted, of which 66693 is implemented through relatively stable employment channels such as fishery industry resettlement, enterprise absorption, public welfare jobs, and farming.
People, accounting for 52% of the number of people who have switched jobs; 171,851 people have been implemented social security, accounting for 99.
83% of the social security base
.

"Implementing the social security and employment of fishermen to ensure that the basic livelihood of fishermen is related to basic people's livelihood and social stability.
It is also the foundation for the ban to be consolidated and not rebounded
.
" The relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs pointed out that on the one hand, we must speed up implementation.
The social security of fishermen withdrawn from fishing shall be raised and the standards shall be appropriately raised.
On the other hand, multiple measures shall be taken to open up channels for employment and income increase for fishermen withdrawn from fishing
.
It is necessary to organize free employment and skill training, encourage enterprises to absorb fishermen's employment through tax reduction and exemption, social security preferential policies, guide and support fishermen to set up fishery cooperatives, develop characteristic aquaculture, processing and circulation, and explore new ways of internal fishery conversion
.

"Change jobs" do not lose their old line, many fishermen are still dealing with fish after "going ashore"
.
In response to the “four hopes” of fishermen living in houses, jobs, medical care, and social security, all localities are formulating implementation plans based on local conditions, through funding subsidies, employment services, skills training, entrepreneurship support, social security and other methods.
To ensure that the fishermen who go ashore should provide all support and insurance, and no one will be settled, and no one will be left
.

3.
Strictly enforce the law, and the Yangtze River is in action to fight non-broken links

【on site】

Every day after 12 o'clock noon, the trading hours of aquatic products at the Shuiduhe Agricultural Products Market in Changsha, Hunan Province, are opened
.
In catching up with the peak trading hours, there are several large trucks full of fresh fish parked in front of each stall, and workers are busy unloading fresh fish from the vehicles
.
These fresh fish are now traceable through the purchase channels
.
Since the introduction of the Yangtze River ban on fishing, the market has not only informed merchants that the sale of illegal catches is prohibited, but also requires that each vehicle carrying aquatic products enter the market, submit a certificate of origin, and have legal aquaculture channels and belong to the scope of legal sales before entering the market.

.
On the outer wall of the market, the banner slogan "Do not eat fish for offspring today, and fish for offspring tomorrow" is particularly eye-catching
.

"If there is no trade, there will be no killing.
" When it comes to wildlife protection, people often think of this slogan naturally, and the Yangtze River wildlife protection is no exception
.
For the Yangtze River ban to be effective, it is very important to cut off the sales industry chain
.
In July of this year, the State Administration for Market Regulation issued an announcement on launching a special action on "banning fishing in the Yangtze River and breaking the chain", severely cracking down on illegal activities in the market selling illegally caught fish in the Yangtze River Basin, cutting off the market sales industry chain, and protecting the ecological safety of the Yangtze River Basin
.
It is clarified that before December 31 this year, trade is prohibited from illegally fishing catches from 332 nature reserves and aquatic germplasm resource reserves that have implemented bans; starting from January 1 next year, trade is prohibited from the mainstream of the Yangtze River and the Minjiang and Tuojiang Rivers.
, Chishui River, Jialing River, Wujiang River, Hanjiang River, Dadu River and other important tributaries, as well as Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake and other large river-connected lakes illegally catch fish
.

The non-broken link is not only written in the announcement, but also implemented in action more quickly
.
As of the end of October, the national market supervision departments have inspected a total of 3.
6151 million (times) of aquatic product manufacturers, small processing workshops, agricultural trade (batch) markets, supermarkets, supermarkets, and catering units; and monitored 2.
341,300 e-commerce platforms (websites) Second, carried out administrative guidance for 53,700 times on e-commerce platforms, urged to remove (delete, block) 24,800 pieces of illegal transaction information; investigated and handled 711 various illegal cases; seized 139.
72 kilograms of precious and endangered aquatic wildlife, and seized illegal fish catches Material 1753.
69 kg
.

In addition to strict law enforcement, the market supervision department went deep into the agricultural trade (batch) market, shopping malls, supermarkets, and catering companies to strengthen unannounced visits and supervision, convened online catering platforms such as Meituan and Ele.
me, mobilized platform companies to discipline themselves, and cooperated with the regulatory authorities to cut off the network Market sales industry chain
.
Yu Jun, Director of the Press and Publicity Department and spokesperson of the State Administration of Market Supervision, revealed that unannounced visits in late September found that the aquatic products sold in agricultural trade (batch) markets, catering companies, and shopping malls were concentrated in grass carp, silver carp, bighead carp, and crucian carp.
Conventional fish such as, Huang Lading, etc.
, basically come from nearby reservoirs and farms in lakes
.
"When unannounced visits and supervisors asked some catering companies to buy and eat wild freshwater, the operators often said that the government strictly prohibits illegal fishing and sales, and there are no wild freshwater products
.
" Yu Jun said
.

In fact, the real "Yangtze River Wild Fish" and "Yangtze River Wild River Fresh" have been hard to find in the market recently.
In the three batches of typical cases of the "Yangtze River Catching Banning and Breaking the Link" issued by the State Administration of Market Supervision, most of them published false advertisements, Issues such as false propaganda, as well as the issue of "no legal source" of some catches
.

"To effectively cut off the illegal sale of the underground industrial chain of fishing catches in the Yangtze River Basin, zero market transactions, zero catering, online retail sales, and zero advertisements must be achieved
.
" Yan Jun, director of the Law Enforcement Inspection Bureau of the State Administration for Market Supervision, emphasized that the Yangtze River is prohibited from catching catches.
All the wild catches are "not bought," "not sold," "not eaten," "not advertised," and "not provided with trading services.
" Anyone who violates these "five nos" is suspected of breaking the law
.
"Consumers who find such suspected violations can report them through the 12315 hotline or the national 12315 platform.
At the same time, they must not only do not buy or eat, but also actively persuade people around them and mobilize the whole society to resist such violations.
Behavior

" Yan Jun reminded
