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 attaches great importance to the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, personally plans, deploys and promotes it, clarifying the joint efforts The strategic orientation of large-scale protection and no 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 original mission of the development strategy of the Yangtze River Economic Belt. It is beneficial to the ecology, people’s livelihood, and a quiet space. , the sound outside the wing door was clearly transmitted into the room and reached Lan Yuhua’s ears. It is of great significance and far-reaching impact in the long run.
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 a fundamental plan related to the sustainable development of the Chinese nation.” Implementing a ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River will actively give up fishing and plundering nature.The development model abandons the practice of sacrificing the ecological environment in exchange for temporary and local economic growth, and embodies the simple philosophical thought of the unity of nature and man in Chinese culture, which can enable 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 the great achievements in the protection of the Yangtze River
Since the full implementation of the fishing ban, the results have begun to show, and the Yangtze River Basin has once again “clear water, green shores, fish leaping and birds flying” “It has become the consensus of the whole society to jointly protect the beautiful scenery and not engage in large-scale development.
Aquatic biological resources have recovered significantly, and fishermen who have landed ashore have successfully transitioned to employment. The habitat of aquatic life in the Yangtze River is increasingly optimized, and the number of fish species and resources have increased. Monitoring data in 2022 shows 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, the population of rare and unique fish in the upper reaches, the four major fish species in the middle reaches, and the swordfish in the lower reaches are representative species. All have increased significantly, and the distribution area of some species has expanded significantly; 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 retired from fishing and came ashore, the relevant localities did a solid job in transition, resettlement and people’s livelihood protection, and provided employment assistance through multiple channels. The fishermen who retired from fishing had the ability and willingness to work and successfully transitioned into employment. Qualified fishermen who retired from fishing participated in basic pension insurance. The livelihood of fishermen ashore has been effectively guaranteed.
A fierce heat surged up from deep in her throat. She had no time to stop her and had to cover her mouth with her hands, but blood still flowed out from between her fingers. Remarkable results have been achieved in pollution control in certain 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 tasks such as inspection, monitoring, traceability, and rectification of sewage outlets entering the Yangtze River to solve the problem of direct and random discharge of sewage. There are 45,000 problems, and black and smelly water bodies in cities at prefecture level and above have been basically eliminated. The provincial and municipal customs along the Yangtze River were changed and moved. There are more than 9,000 chemical enterprises, the problem of “chemical encirclement of rivers” has been basically solved, and 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 the beauty of “a river of clear water flowing eastward” has reappeared.
The large-scale protection mechanism has been continuously improved, and the joint efforts of all parties have been further consolidated. my country’s first river basin law, the Yangtze River Protection Law of the People’s Republic of China, has been promulgated and implemented. The planning policy promotion and implementation system that combines the “Yangtze River Economic Belt Development Plan Outline”, 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 established. Implement and achieve classified management and control of industrial development, regional development, and coastline utilization, so that the Yangtze River protection can be legally followed, followed by rules, and rules can be observed. The working mechanisms for resettlement guarantees for retired fishermen and enforcement and supervision of fishing bans have continued to improve. People in provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have spontaneously joined the ranks of volunteers for fishing bans, forming a vivid situation in which all sectors of society work together to protect the Yangtze River.
At the same time, we are also clearly aware that the ecological environment of the Yangtze RiverAlthough the environment has achieved phased results from severe overdraft to significant improvement, historical debts have not yet been fully paid off. The fishing ban is still at a critical stage of climbing over hurdles. The amount of aquatic biological resources in the Yangtze River is still at a low level. Diversity recovery still has a long way to go, and we still need to persist 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 prioritizing joint efforts and comprehensive protection, 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 areas, 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 puts forward clear requirements for us to promote ecological environment protection and restoration. It is necessary to coordinate the water environment, water ecology, and water resources, promote coordinated management of the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, left and right banks, trunks and tributaries, and in-depth implementation of pollution in key areas such as urban sewage and garbage, chemical industry, agricultural non-point sources, ships, and tailings ponds. Treatment projects to strengthen the ecology of important lakes and important wetlands. Is this really a dream? Lan Yuhua began to doubt. Conservation restoration. To strengthen aquatic lifeTo protect biodiversity, we should improve protection measures based on the endangerment levels and risk factors of different species, implement action plans to save rare and endangered aquatic organisms such as Chinese sturgeon, Yangtze sturgeon, and 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 Leading Group for Regional Coordinated Development, strengthen coordination services and supervise implementation, and promote the implementation of various Yangtze River protection tasks.
