reporter recently learned from the relevant departments of Chongming that in a monitoring of fish in the waters of the Yangtze River under Chongming in March this year, staff from the Academy of Fisheries caught nearly 200 kilograms of knife fish in one network, which was impossible in the past few years. Researchers couldn't help but sigh: "The implementation of the comprehensive ban and subsidy has given Yangtze River fish the opportunity to recuperate. In ten years, the big fish will jump into the cabin if the boat drives over."
retired fishermen realized
two 100%
At the beginning of the "ten-year fishing ban" in the Yangtze River. In 2018, Chongming District studied and deployed the work of fishing boat withdrawal. From August 2018, the processing of Yangtze River fishing boat certificates and certificates was stopped. All 179 Yangtze River fishing boats were withdrawn from production in the Yangtze River waters, and by the end of 2018, it was the first in the country to achieve full-region withdrawal. After
withdrawal, how to deal with fishing boats and fishing nets? What should I do about the livelihood issues of fishermen? Chongming implemented 100% dismantling of 179 Yangtze River fishing boats and 7 auxiliary fishing boats, and issued subsidies in accordance with the standard of "5,000 yuan/kilowatt fishing boats, 4,000 yuan/kilowatt auxiliary fishing boats, and 50,000 yuan for dismantling on time"; fishing nets were 100% recycled and destroyed. The guarantees for fishermen after they get ashore have long been implemented. As early as 2005, Chongming District formulated relevant documents to solve the social security problem of fishermen involved in water, including fishermen involved in small town social insurance insurance scope, basically solving the problem of fishermen protection. At the same time, fishermen can also provide land by townships in accordance with the farmers' housing construction policy to solve the problem of fishermen's housing.
At present, there are 164 people who have retired fishermen in Chongming District who participate in two types of social insurances: urban employee pension insurance and urban and rural residents pension insurance, with an insurance rate of 100%. Fishermen who are willing to find employment have achieved 100% employment. Some people have joined the company, some have started business, some have been placed in public welfare positions, and some have used their skills to switch from fishing boats to fishing administration boats, and continue to use their remaining energy.
"three-no"ship
nowhere to hide
With the advancement of the withdrawal of fishing, the pressure on cracking down on illegal fishing in the estuary of the Yangtze River has increased significantly - legal fishing boats have been dismantled, and the profit margin of "three-no" ships has become larger, and criminals want to take the opportunity to make a vote.
"three-no" ships refer to fishing ships without a ship's name number, no ship certificate, and no ship registration port. Remediation of "three no" ships is a process of fighting wits and courage with illegal fishing personnel. Once, Chongming District Fisheries Law Enforcement Officers found a "three-no" ship next to the tidal flat while patrolling. After law enforcement officers boarded the ship, a man on the ship suddenly jumped off the ship and got into the reed marsh and ran away. "We chased after it, but the reeds on the mudflat were taller than people. A woman on the boat was excited and said that it was dark and the tide was rising, and her husband was in danger. If we wanted to detain the boat, we must first ensure her husband's safety." Qiu Hongyi, the squadron leader of the Law Enforcement Brigade of Chongming District Agriculture and Rural Committee, told reporters that later, the law enforcement team members were divided into two groups, driving speedboats along the mudflats and searching along the mudflats, and drilling into the reed marsh to find people. Finally, before the tide rose, he found a jumping escaper in another "three-no" ship in the reed marsh. Later, the law enforcement team members dealt with the two "three-no" ships and related personnel in accordance with the law.
Shen Shilin, who served as the captain of the Fisheries Law Enforcement Brigade for many years, also sighed: "With the strong support of the state and local governments, the fishery law enforcement work has been carried out smoother. The most obvious change is that there are more law enforcement personnel and law enforcement ships are more advanced." Once upon a time, the fishery law enforcement ship was not large enough and its speed was not fast enough. It was more like a cat and mouse game, and mice could often escape by chance. "Now you come to our law enforcement brigade again. They have replaced them with 200-ton fishery law enforcement ships. They can enforce the law around the clock, and criminals will no longer be arrogant." Shen Shilin said.
Chongming is located in the estuary of the North Yangtze River. To curb illegal fishing, we must not only make efforts in Chongming Three Islands, but also pay attention to strengthening cross-regional law enforcement cooperation and weaving a tight "protection net" to crack down on illegal fishing. In response to this, the District Agriculture and Rural Committee relies on the joint logistic linkage mechanism of public security, water affairs, and townships to intensively carry out large-scale joint law enforcement actions of inland "clear river"; focus on illegal fishing in difficult waters under the jurisdiction of provinces and cities along the northern branch of the Yangtze River, and signed joint logistic linkage agreements with Jiangsu Qidong Fisheries Administration, Coast Guard, Changhang Public Security and Border Defense, organized a series of special law enforcement actions of "Spring Thunder" to severely crack down on illegal fishing in the Yangtze River Basin.
No river knife
can flow into the market
In the past, knife fishing was the main source of economic resources for fishermen in Chongming waters. Whenever Yangtze River knife fish is on the market, major aquatic stalls and restaurants in Chongming also regard it as their main product, and there are sky-high price knife fish worth thousands of yuan per pound. So, after the fishing ban is completely banned, can the Yangtze River Knife still be bought in Chongming's market?
Relevant person in charge of the Chongming District Market Supervision Bureau told reporters that the Chongming District Market Supervision Bureau has organized 465 aquatic merchants and all catering units that operate hot food to sign notice and commitment letters, and has produced "Yangtze River Fishing Ban, Break the Unlawful Links" publicity stickers to 53 agricultural (combination) markets in the district and catering units that operate fish fresh, and has produced "Yangtze River Fishing Ban" consumption tips to be distributed to more than 500 village consumer rights protection contact points in the district. "Previously, we found that a restaurant used the word "Yangjiang Knife" in the online platform promotion page. After verification, it was found that the actual sales of the parties to the outside world was "Sea Knife", not "Jiangjiang Knife". According to relevant laws and regulations, we fined it and required that the word "Yangjiang Knife" should not be used for publicity."
Xingqiao Vegetable Market in Chengqiao Town is one of the largest farmers' markets in Chongming, with more than 80 aquatic stalls here. The aquatic products on aquatic stalls are required to request certificates and tickets - where do the fish come from, which marine fishing boat in the wholesale market comes from wholesale, whether the marine fishing boat has a fishing license, etc. The regulatory authorities must check the relevant tickets so that every fish and shrimp sold in the market can find the source.
In recent years, with the extinction of the Yangtze River swordfish in the aquatic products market, the life trajectory of many people has also changed. Chenjia Town Peng Haibing is one of them. Born in Xijiagang, Chenjia Town, he started fishing and selling fish since he was 20 years old. He is known as the "King of Knife Fish". But now he is a volunteer at the Chongming Chinese Sturgeon Nature Reserve in Shanghai, assisting scientific researchers in monitoring rare aquatic animals in the Yangtze River Basin. In 2018, he spontaneously established the Chongming Dolphin Search Messenger Alliance, which patrols about 100 nautical miles from Tuanjiesha to Dongfeng Xisha. He and more than 40 other volunteers in the alliance carefully monitored and recorded the population, number, flow and other information of the emergence of finless porpoise . "The people of Chongming have a lot of feelings for the porpoises, because it was very common a few decades ago, but later the porpoises were almost never seen. In recent years, the ecological environment has improved, and there are more porpoises in the waters of Chongming." Peng Haibing said.
