【Explanation】 Under the overall strategy of "Great Protection of the Yangtze River", the state has decided to implement a comprehensive ban on fishing in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin. Starting from January 1, 2020, it will be stepped up in steps to ban fishing for ten years. Hukou County, which is named as the only intersection of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, took the lead in implementing a comprehensive fishing ban on the Yangtze Lake estuary and Poyang Lake estuary on January 1 this year.

　　On April 20, during the patrol of the local finless porpoise association patrol, the entourage successively photographed more than 20 finless porpoises active in the river, and one or seven of them jumped out of the water at the same time.

　　This made Zhang Chuanguo, the patrolman of the local finless porpoise patrol, very excited. He said in an interview that this kind of picture was dare not imagined in the past.

　　A total of more than 20 finless porpoises have been found today. From the beginning of last year to now, I have discovered so many for the first time. When there were few finless porpoises in the past few years, I was lucky to see them once every three or four days.

　　Like Zhang Chuanguo's statement, Shu Yinan, who has been engaged in volunteer work for three years of patrolling and protection, is also pleased with the changes brought about since the ban on fishing.

　　I have been engaged in the protection of finless porpoises for three years. This is the first time I have seen so many people come out at the same time. This shows that the ban is effective, and we must be very happy as volunteers to protect our finless porpoises.

　　With the comprehensive ban on the Jiangxi section of the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, as well as the increasing protection of finless porpoises, the finless porpoise family has appeared frequently, demonstrating the continuous improvement of the living environment of finless porpoises. In the view of Zhang Chuanguo and Shu Yin'an, "keep the smile of the porpoise" , The future is expected.
