At 12 o 'clock on May 1, China's Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea and the South China Sea (including the Beibu Gulf) north of 12 degrees north latitude entered the season of Marine fishing suspension, and nearly 120,000 Marine fishing vessels and fishing auxiliary vessels returned to port. On the same day, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the China Sea Police and the Ministry of Public Security jointly launched a special law enforcement action on the 2024 Marine summer fishing ban in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, mobilizing law enforcement forces across the coast to jointly do a good job in law enforcement and supervision and protect Marine fishery resources. The three departments stressed that the Marine fishing moratorium in the summer season is the fishery resource conservation and management system involving the largest population, lasting the longest history and having the greatest influence in China, and is also an important measure to promote the high-quality development and modernization of the fishery. Coastal fisheries and fishery administration, coast guard, and public security departments at all levels should improve their position, have the courage to take responsibility, take efficient management as the requirement, take solving the stubborn problems that endanger the development of fisheries as the guidance, adhere to the strictest supervision and the strictest law enforcement, and escort the high-quality development of fisheries. The three departments require that coastal fishery administration, coast guard and public security departments at all levels should adhere to strong and weak items, make up for weaknesses, grasp the key points, focus on effectiveness, and comprehensively do a good job in the supervision of summer fishing ban. First, it is necessary to strengthen law enforcement coordination and cooperation among departments, deploy forces in a scientific and rational way, crack down on illegal and criminal activities related to fishing in an all-round, whole-chain and whole-sea area, and promote the construction of an integrated supervision pattern of information connectivity, law enforcement linkage, joint problem offices, and joint case handling. Second, we must strictly implement the fishing ban system at the port of registration to ensure that fishing vessels that should be banned can be managed. Special fishing shall be regulated and managed to ensure the scientific use of special economic species resources without affecting the order of the fishing ban. Focus on key objects with greater risks of violations, strengthen law enforcement and supervision on both sides of the bottom trawl no-fishing zone line, the waters around the maritime demarcation line, and key areas such as Changdao, Yangtze River estuary, and Nanao Sea area to prevent illegal fishing. Third, we must widely carry out the publicity of the fishing ban system and relevant laws and regulations, and increase the violationAt 12 o 'clock on May 1, China's Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea and the South China Sea (including the Beibu Gulf) north of 12 degrees north latitude entered the season of Marine fishing suspension, and nearly 120,000 Marine fishing vessels and fishing auxiliary vessels returned to port.
