    The goal set in the proposal is that all fishing vessels with a hull length of more than 15 metres are subject to all aspects of the regulations before leaving port for fishing
    .
    All fishing vessels with a hull length of more than 15 meters must be monitored through the fishing vessel voyage monitoring system in the course of participating in maritime activities and inspected
    at the port as required.
    All aquatic products caught in the country shall be inspected and supervised in accordance with regulations when loading and unloading at fishing ports

    .
     
    At the same time, maritime law enforcement forces have increased their inspection and supervision, particularly in overlapping, disputed and undivided maritime areas, and have promptly detected, stopped and dealt with illegal entry into foreign maritime areas; Resolutely crack down on the illegal control, arrest and disposal of fishermen on fishing vessels and fishermen of our country by foreign functional forces in accordance with law
