On January 1, 2021, the "10-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River" will be fully implemented.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs will actively work with relevant departments to continue to track the implementation of the employment assistance and resettlement guarantee policies for fishermen who retreat to ensure that fishermen can retreat, stay stable, and become rich.
At the same time, with the implementation of the "Yangtze River Protection Law" as an opportunity, we will further improve the long-term mechanism, improve policies and measures, and vigorously implement them in the spirit of "nails", and resolutely win the protracted battle of the "10-year ban on fishing" in the Yangtze River.

Combining with the implementation of the long-term responsibility system of rivers and lakes, improve the grid law enforcement management system, implement the reporting and supervision system, strengthen inspection and law enforcement in key water areas such as the Yangtze River Estuary, Poyang Lake, and Dongting Lake to ensure the normalization and sustainability of the "Four Clears and Four Nos".
Strengthen the management of the areas around the prohibited waters, consolidate the responsibility for the management of the territorial management of ships in villages and towns, prohibit the "three nos" ships from engaging in fishing activities, rectify and ban illegal production and sales, and use prohibited fishing gear, regulate the management of recreational fishing in natural waters, and eliminate hidden dangers of illegal fishing .
The second is to vigorously promote the prohibition on the sale of wild freshwater in the Yangtze River.

Focus on market entities such as aquatic product trading markets, catering establishments, and e-commerce platforms, severely crack down on marketing activities that use Yangtze River wild fish and Yangtze River fresh fish as gimmicks, and strive to create "no catching on water, no selling in markets, no restaurants, and people Good atmosphere of "eat".
The third is to speed up the shortcomings of the Yangtze River's fishery administration and law enforcement capabilities. Build the Yangtze River fishery law enforcement supervision command and dispatch system platform, implement the "Bright River Project", and achieve full coverage of technical defenses in key prohibited waters through video, radar and other information monitoring methods. Build strong ministries and provinces to jointly build fishery administration bases and a special fleet of Yangtze River fishery administrations, and strengthen cross-departmental and cross-regional law enforcement cooperation mechanisms. Promote the strengthening of fishery law enforcement teams and the construction of equipment conditions in various regions, promote the "one river, two lakes and seven rivers" key counties and cities to achieve the "six have" goals of fishery law enforcement, guide law enforcement forces to the front line of grassroots, promote daily law enforcement and supervision capabilities and the Yangtze River "Annual fishing ban" meets the requirements.
