Did nine people go out to sea to catch fish during the fishing ban and finally be rescued?

Nine people went fishing during the fishing ban: 18 voluntarily accepted the punishment on the 8th day after being rescued.

On September 13, nearly 10,000 fish fry were released along the coast of Dongshan Village, Xiaotuo Town, Hui 'an County, Fujian Province. Watching the fish swim freely to the sea, the families of the suspects present were a little more gratified: they never dared to fish in the sea again during the fishing ban.

This proliferation and release activity is an initiative of Hui 'an County Procuratorate to restore ecological justice, so as to enhance people's concept of "protecting the ocean, everyone is responsible". The prosecutor said that what haunted them was 18 days brought by illegal fishing a month ago.

Illegal fishing during the closed fishing season, lost at sea 18 days.

Huian is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the coastline of Yu Xiu, Zhong Ling stretches for 129 km, which is known as "one of the eight most beautiful coastlines in China". Therefore, the Hui 'an County Procuratorate has a special office-the Marine Ecological Procuratorate Group, which specializes in handling criminal cases involving the sea, fishing and sand.

On August 9th, Procurator Xiaolin logged into the "Handheld Ecological Procuratorial Service" interface of the Supervision and Guidance Center of the County Procuratorate as usual to handle reports, complaints, appeals, legal consultations and other work related to marine ecology for the masses. He found that dozens of letters suddenly appeared in the petition mailbox, to the effect that "the family has been lost for several days, please help us". Kobayashi immediately opened a platform to share case information with the frontier defense brigade to judge case clues. It turned out that on August 2, when the trawler was not fishing, the fishing boat Min 0 1685, with nine crew members, went to sea first, and it has been lost for several days.

The county party committee and government attached great importance to the loss of sailors and formed a special disposal team. The hospital promptly sent people to the towns where the missing persons were located, and verified the identity information of the missing persons through on-the-spot visits and other channels to appease their families' emotions. After investigation, because the ship's positioning equipment is invalid, it is impossible to grasp the specific position, which brings great difficulty to the search work. In this regard, the Institute assists marine fisheries and maritime departments, widely mobilizes offshore fishing boats to participate in search and rescue work through the information platform, and tracks and refines the search tasks arranged by daily briefings.

Day and night without news, family members are waiting for their return on the coast, and prosecutors are following them all the time, always paying attention to the search and rescue dynamics.

On the morning of August 20th, the prosecutor learned from the Bureau of Ocean and Fisheries that the owner's brother received a strange phone call from a fisherman in Taiwan Province Province, saying that Min 0 1685 had been found at sea, and nine people on board were safe. The other party also sent a specific location. After drifting at sea 18 days, the fishing boat was found in the sea area of Hsinchu, Taiwan Province, and finally returned by luck.

Fishermen return and procuratorial supervision is started.

Nine people returned safely, and the stones in the hearts of all concerned people fell to the ground, but for prosecutors, supervision has entered a new stage.

"During the fishing ban, in order to seize the opportunity of aquatic resources, the crew took illegal fishing gear and went out to sea privately. In order to avoid inspection, the marine fishery administration ship management system and Beidou satellite navigation terminal were dismantled privately. During the voyage, the motor broke down. Because the positioning system was dismantled, the exact position of the fishing boat could not be obtained, and there was no communication facility, so the crew could not get in touch with the shore personnel. This practice must be severely cracked down to form a shock and prevent problems before they happen. " Xiao Wang, the procurator of the marine ecological inspection team, said.

Therefore, the hospital initiated the filing supervision procedure through the supervision center, requiring the County Ocean and Fisheries Bureau to transfer the case to the County Public Security Bureau for criminal filing, and monitor the progress of the case in real time through the "two laws convergence" platform. Prosecutors intervene in the case investigation in advance, verify the facts, details and key evidence of the case in detail, guide the public security organs to appraise the price of the destroyed catch, collect and fix the evidence comprehensively, and guide the case.

In less than half a month, the county public security bureau submitted three people, including Zhuang, who played a major role in the case, to the procuratorate for approval of arrest on suspicion of illegal fishing of aquatic products.

The public trial explained the law by case, and the suspect pleaded guilty and repented.

"The prosecutor tracked the progress of the incident, intervened in advance to grasp the dynamic information of the case and thoroughly analyzed the necessity of arrest." The leader in charge of the hospital told the reporter that this case of illegal fishing of aquatic products is a typical incident. Considering the social impact and harmful consequences of the case, the hospital decided to invite more than 20 people, including the suspect's family, public security organs, the Ocean and Fisheries Bureau and village leaders, to participate in the public hearing of the case. Through the online supervision module of the supervision center, the whole process of the public hearing was broadcast live in Weibo. At the meeting, all parties expressed their opinions on the social harm of the case.

"I really shouldn't have blinded my mind to compete for aquatic resources. Drifting for 18 days, almost lost his life. I am sorry for everyone, I am willing to accept the punishment! " "We make a living by fishing, and we know the danger of going out to sea during the fishing ban, but we are lucky. I plead guilty and hope that everyone can learn our lessons. " The criminal suspect Zhuang and other three people participated in the trial through remote video at the detention center, and expressed remorse and pleaded guilty on the spot.

After comprehensively analyzing the case and evidence, the procuratorate made a decision to approve the arrest of three people, including the owner's village. "I received a text message from the procuratorate informing my father and brother that they were arrested. My family was very hurt, but we can understand and accept it because the concern of the whole society and the government gave them a chance to survive. We hope that in what way we can save them and strive for leniency. " The family members of Zhuang and others conveyed their wishes to the prosecutor through the procuratorial supervision and guidance center.

"Based on the ecological procuratorial function, the procuratorial organs have comprehensively promoted the new pattern of marine ecological judicial protection of' integrated linkage, multidimensional supervision, source prevention, restoration and compensation', and fully protected the blue sea and blue sky." Xu Jinbiao, the chief procurator of the hospital, said. On September 13, nearly 10,000 fry were witnessed by the Procuratorate and the Ocean and Fisheries Bureau downstream to the depths of the ocean.
