The ban on fishing in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin is an important decision made by the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The resettlement guarantee for fishermen who have retired from fishing has been strong, the management order of the banned fishing waters has been stable, and the recovery of aquatic biological resources has improved.

However, there are still many hidden dangers of illegal fishing, weakened work in some places, insufficient law enforcement and supervision capabilities. It is necessary to tighten the responsibilities of local entities and eliminate blind optimism, slackness and relaxation.
