The ban on fishing in the Yangtze River is an important decision for the overall situation and for future generations.
Firmly establish and practice the idea that lucid waters and lush mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains, insist on joint protection and not large-scale development, we will surely let a river of clear water last for generations and benefit the people
The amount of anchovy resources in Poyang Lake has increased; the yellowtail, which has not been seen for many years, has reappeared in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River; the "smiling angel" Yangtze finless porpoise has appeared frequently in the main stream sections of the Yangtze River such as Nanjing and Wuhan... Two years after the ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River was fully implemented, Rare and endangered species have gradually recovered and returned, and the conservation of biodiversity in the Yangtze River has achieved remarkable results.
The Yangtze River is the mother river of the Chinese nation. There are many kinds of aquatic organisms in the basin. It is an important ecological treasure house in my country. The protection of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River is of great significance.
For a long time, affected by a variety of high-intensity human activities, the ecological environment of the Yangtze River waters has deteriorated, and the economic fish resources are close to depletion.
Among them, the impact of overfishing is very large.
From the perspective of the overall strategy and long-term development, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally deployed and promoted the Yangtze River fishing ban, emphasizing that "the ecological and environmental protection and restoration of the Yangtze River, one is pollution control, the other is bank control, and the other is fish control." An important decision for the overall situation and for future generations" "The '10-year fishing ban' on the Yangtze River is a strategic move, mainly to restore the ecology of the Yangtze River".
Starting from January 1, 2021, the ten-year fishing ban in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin has been fully launched. Hundreds of thousands of fishermen have gone ashore to switch jobs. All regions and departments have taken unprecedented strict measures to protect the biodiversity of the Yangtze River and protect and restore the ecological environment of the Yangtze River.
Over the past two years, through measures such as compensation, subsidy, and resettlement, the 111,000 fishing boats and 231,000 fishermen involved in the prohibited fishing waters have all returned. At the same time, the law enforcement of the prohibited fishing has been strengthened. Biological resources are showing a gradual recovery trend.
At the same time, the overall water quality of the Yangtze River Basin has continued to improve, and since 2020, the water quality of the main stream has continued to be at Class II or above.
The ban on fishing in the Yangtze River is a systematic project.
The effect of protection is beginning to show, but we must not relax and slack, we must maintain concentration and work hard for a long time.
The Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the National Development and Reform Commission and other 17 departments and units jointly issued the "Action Plan for In-depth Protection and Restoration of the Yangtze River", which puts forward specific goals and requirements for the full implementation of the ten-year fishing ban.
On the one hand, it is necessary to continuously consolidate and improve the employment quality of retired fishermen to ensure that they can withdraw, live stably, and become rich.
On the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of law enforcement capabilities, increase the crackdown on illegal fishing, and cut off the illegal industrial chain.
At the same time, it is necessary to encourage and support the development and growth of non-governmental fish protection organizations and volunteer teams, and unblock the reporting channels for fishing bans.
For new situations and new problems that have emerged in the work of fishing bans such as excessive fish resources in some lakes and reservoirs affecting the ecosystem, it is necessary to refine relevant regulations and improve relevant measures.
The work of all links must be kept up to date, done carefully, and implemented in a down-to-earth way to form a joint protection force, so as to ensure that the fishing ban can be banned, stabilized, and not rebounded, so that the ecology of the Yangtze River will be further improved, fish resources will be further increased, and Wanli The Yangtze River is full of vitality.
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China made a major deployment for the modernization of building a harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and proposed to "enhance the diversity, stability, and sustainability of the ecosystem" and "implement the ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River."
If the road is obstructed and long, it will come soon; if you keep going, the future can be expected.
Thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, firmly establish and practice the concept that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, and insist on joint protection and not large-scale development.
