The ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River is an important decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core and based on the long-term interests of the Chinese nation for the overall plan and for future generations. General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued important instructions and instructions on the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River on many occasions. In October last year, when he chaired a symposium on further promoting the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, he emphasized that “we should firmly promote the ‘ten-year fishing ban’ in the Yangtze River and consolidate the achievements that have been made.” results”. The Party Group of the National Development and Reform Commission thoroughly implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important speeches and important instructions, conscientiously performed the responsibilities of the Central Regional Coordinated Development Leading Group Office, and regarded the ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River as an important task for the Yangtze River protection. Together with relevant departments and The provinces and cities along the Yangtze River are promoting the restoration of vitality of the mother river of the Yangtze River.
The ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River is a strategic measure to protect the Yangtze River
General Secretary Xi Jinping Gao Cai Xiu was so frightened that his whole jaw dropped. How could such words come out of that lady’s mouth? This is impossible, it’s incredible! We attach great importance to the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, personally plan, deploy and promote it, and clarify the strategic orientation of joint efforts to protect and avoid large-scale development and the strategic positioning of ecological priority and green development. The ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River fully reflects the Yangtze River Economic Belt The original mission of the development strategy is to benefit the ecology, people’s livelihood, and the long-term. “I’m just guessing, I don’t know if it’s true or not,” Cai Xiu said quickly. , of great significance and far-reaching influence.
The ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River is the most direct and effective measure to restore the Yangtze River ecosystem. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The ‘ten-year fishing ban’ on the Yangtze River is a strategic move, mainly to restore the ecology of the Yangtze River.” The Yangtze River uses water as a link, connecting the upstream and downstream, left and right banks, trunks and tributaries, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. It is our country’s Important ecological treasure house and ecological barrier. After years of over-exploitation and utilization, the ecological functions of the Yangtze River Basin have been severely degraded, and rare species such as the Yangtze finless porpoise and Chinese sturgeon are critically endangered. Implementing a tentative ten-year year-round fishing ban in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin and simultaneously improving the habitat environment of aquatic organisms can gradually improve the level of aquatic biodiversity in the Yangtze River and effectively restore the aquatic ecological balance of the Yangtze River Basin.
The ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River is a concrete manifestation of the implementation of people-centered development thinking. General Secretary Xi Jinping attaches great importance to the livelihood issue of retired fishermen, emphasizing that “relevant work must be done in place so that the majority of fishermen are willing to go ashore, can go ashore, and can live stably and become rich after going ashore.” After the fishing ban is implemented, it is a major livelihood project to safeguard the vital interests of retired fishermen and do a solid job in resettlement and security. More than 200,000 retired fishermen have switched jobs and adapted to the production and lifestyle on the shore, which will be conducive to the smooth implementation of the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River, promote the steady and long-term protection of the Yangtze River, and achieve simultaneous improvement in ecological and social benefits.
The ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River is an important measure to promote the sustainable development of the Chinese nation. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “The construction of ecological civilization is related to China’sThe fundamental plan for the sustainable development of the nation. “Implementing a ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River, voluntarily abandoning the development model of depleting the lake for fishing and plundering nature, and abandoning the practice of sacrificing the ecological environment for temporary and local economic growth contains the simple philosophy of the unity of nature and man in Chinese culture, and can make the Yangtze River To recuperate and achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature
The ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River has effectively promoted major achievements in the protection of the Yangtze River
Since the full implementation of the fishing ban, the Yangtze River Basin has begun to show results. With the beautiful scenery of “clear water, green shores, and flying fish and birds,” it has become the consensus of the whole society to jointly protect and not engage in large-scale development.
The aquatic biological resources have obviously recovered, and the fishermen who came ashore seemed to have a smooth time today. Very slowly. Lan Yuhua felt that it had been a long time since she heard Fangyuan finish her breakfast, but when she asked Caixiu what time it was, Caixiu told her that the habitat of aquatic life in the Yangtze River was getting better and better. The number of species and resources have increased. Monitoring data in 2022 show that 193 species of fish were monitored in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin, an increase of 25 species compared with 2020. Among them, rare and endemic fish in the upper reaches, four major fish species in the middle reaches, and fish species in the lower reaches. The population of representative species such as the dolphin and dolphin has increased significantly, and the distribution area of some species has significantly expanded; the population of the Yangtze River’s flagship species finless porpoise has reached 1,249, an increase of 23.4% compared with 2017. After the fishermen stopped fishing and landed, the relevant places made solid efforts to transition to production and resettlement. and people’s livelihood protection work, employment assistance is carried out through multiple channels, fishermen who have the ability to work and the willingness to find employment can successfully switch to employment, and qualified fishermen who have retired from fishing participate in basic pension insurance, and the livelihood of fishermen who have landed ashore is effectively guaranteed.
Remarkable results have been achieved in pollution control in key areas, and the quality of the ecological environment continues to improve. Provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have solidly carried out pollution control in key areas such as urban sewage and garbage, chemical industry, agricultural non-point sources, ships, and tailings ponds, and solidly promoted the investigation and monitoring of sewage outlets into the Yangtze River. 45,000 problems of direct and random discharge of sewage have been solved, and the problem of black and smelly water bodies in cities at prefecture level and above has been basically eliminated. Over 9,000 chemical enterprises have been relocated from the provinces and cities along the river, and the problem of “chemical encirclement of the river” has been basically eliminated. To solve the problem, traditional industries are accelerating towards high-end, intelligent and green industries. In 2023, the proportion of sections with excellent water quality in the Yangtze River Economic Zone will reach 95.6%, a year-on-year increase of 1.1 percentage points. The water quality of the main stream has maintained Category II for four consecutive years, and “one river has clear water”. The beautiful scenery of “Flowing East” has reappeared.
The large-scale protection mechanism has been continuously improved, and all parties have further united their efforts. my country’s first river basin law, the “Yangtze River Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China”, was promulgated and implemented, and the “Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Plan Outline” The planning policy promotion and implementation system that combines five-year plans and annual plans has been basically established. The negative list management system for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has been strictly implemented to achieve classified management and control of industrial development, regional development, and coastline utilization, so that the Yangtze River protection is legally enforceable. There are rules to follow, and rules to abide by. The working mechanisms for ensuring the resettlement of fishermen who have retired from fishing, and the enforcement and supervision of fishing bans have continued to improve. People in provinces and cities along the river have spontaneously joined the ranks of volunteers for the fishing ban, forming the formation of all sectors of society.A vivid scene of jointly protecting the Yangtze River.
At the same time, we are also clearly aware that although the ecological environment of the Yangtze River has achieved phased results from severe overdraft to significant improvement, historical debts have not yet been fully paid off, and the fishing ban is still on the ups and downs. At this critical stage, the amount of aquatic biological resources in the Yangtze River is still at a low level. There is still a long way to go to restore aquatic biodiversity, and it is still necessary to persevere in promoting the implementation of various tasks.
Taking the ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River as an entry point to promote the establishment of a new pattern of high-level protection and governance
The party group of the National Development and Reform Commission conscientiously implements General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important instructions on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt In the spirit of speeches and important instructions, we will unswervingly promote the ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, forming a virtuous cycle that mutually promotes and complements the overall conservation work, ensuring that the clear water of the river will last for future generations and benefit the people.
Improve political stance and accurately grasp overall requirements. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “We must unswervingly insist on jointly focusing on large-scale protection, not engaging in large-scale development, and make greater efforts on high-level protection.” This points out the way forward and provides the foundation for us to do a good job in the Yangtze River protection work. follow. We must firmly grasp the original intention of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, insist on putting joint efforts and comprehensive protection first, and unswervingly promote the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River. It is necessary to correctly handle the relationship between the whole and the part. From the perspective of the integrity of the ecosystem and the systemic nature of the Yangtze River Basin, while promoting the overall protection, we should take targeted measures to promote the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River, achieve the unity of overall advancement and key breakthroughs, and address the root cause. Combined with treating symptoms. We must persist in being consistent, make persistent efforts, and work hard for a long time, and implement a blueprint to the end.
Focus on key tasks and continue to consolidate the results of the fishing ban. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized: “Provinces, cities and relevant departments along the Yangtze River must strengthen overall planning and coordination, refine policies and measures, consolidate main responsibilities, and ensure the employment and livelihood of fishermen who have retired from fishing. They must strengthen law enforcement and supervision, severely crack down on illegal fishing, and ensure the ban on fishing “Achieve solid results.” This clarifies the key tasks for us to promote the ten-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River. It is necessary to ensure the resettlement of retired fishermen, establish a dynamic and precise assistance mechanism for retired fishermen, strengthen employment services for retired fishermen, and fully implement pension insurance policies. It is necessary to intensify the enforcement of fishing ban supervision, improve cross-regional and cross-departmental law enforcement cooperation mechanisms, strengthen law enforcement capacity building, and strictly investigate and deal with illegal fishing and market sales of illegal catches and other illegal and criminal activities in accordance with the law. It is necessary to strengthen the standardized management of all types of ships in prohibited fishing waters, increase efforts to rectify illegal use of prohibited fishing gear, and eliminate hidden dangers of illegal fishing.
Strengthen protection and restoration and continuously improve the ecological environment. General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized that “we must continue to strengthen comprehensive management of the ecological environment and continue to strengthen pollution control in key areas.” This has helped us advance the slave, and now she is married into our family. What if she is lost? “Ecological environment protection and restoration put forward clear requirements. It is necessary to coordinate the water environment, water ecology and water resources, promote the coordinated management of the upper and middle lower reaches of the Yangtze River, rivers and lakes, left and right banks, trunk and tributaries, and in-depth implementation of urban sewage, garbage, chemical industry, agricultural non-point sources ,BoatWe will carry out pollution control projects in key areas such as ships and tailings ponds, and strengthen the ecological protection and restoration of important lakes and important wetlands. It is necessary to strengthen the protection of aquatic biodiversity, improve protection measures according to the degree of endangerment and risk factors of different species, implement the action plan to save rare and endangered aquatic organisms such as Chinese sturgeon, Yangtze sturgeon, Yangtze finless porpoise, and carry out scientific and standardized breeding and release. It is necessary to strengthen the restoration of important habitats for aquatic life, promote the restoration of river and lake water systems in the main stream of the Yangtze River and important tributaries, strengthen ecological flow supervision, and ensure basic ecological water use in rivers and lakes.
To further promote the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, we must strengthen and improve the party’s overall leadership. In the next step, we will follow the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and under the overall guidance of the Central Regional Coordinated Development Leading Group, strengthen coordination services and supervise implementation, and promote the implementation of various Yangtze River protection tasks.
