Promote the recuperation of grasslands, forests, rivers, lakes, and wetlands, implement the Yangtze River, and improve the fallow crop rotation system for cultivated land.

Promote the recuperation of grasslands, forests, rivers, lakes and wetlands, implement a ten-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River, and improve the fallow rotation system for cultivated land.

The meaning of the Yangtze River fishing ban:

The Yangtze River fishing ban period system is a measure to protect the fishery resources in the Yangtze River Basin. The Ministry of Agriculture stipulated in 2002 that every year the main stream of the Yangtze River from Deqin County in Yunnan Province to the Yangtze River Estuary, and the Chishui River, Wujiang, Jialing River, Minjiang River, Han River and other river sections in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing and Hubei provinces and cities, etc. , a fishing moratorium has been implemented within the Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake areas.

The fishing moratorium is from Deqin County in Yunnan to above Gezhouba from February 1 to April 30 every year; from below Gezhouba to the mouth of the Yangtze River from April 1 to June 30 every year.

In December 2019, it was learned from the work meeting on the ban on fishing in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin that starting from January 2021, the ban on fishing in the Wuhan section of the Yangtze River and the main stream of the Han River will be fully implemented; based on the actual protection, various districts in Wuhan can Closed fishing seasons and zones will be established in other waters in accordance with the law. Wuhan plans to ban fishing in the Wuhan section of the main stream of the Yangtze and Han Rivers for 10 years.

Background of the ban on fishing in the Yangtze River:

In 1954, the fishing volume of natural resources in the Yangtze River Basin reached 450,000 tons. From 1956 to 1960, the fishing volume dropped to 260,000 tons. In the 1980s, The average catch is about 200,000 tons, and around 2003, the average annual catch was about 100,000 tons.

Since the 1960s, the number of migratory species in the Yangtze River catches has decreased, and the catches have tended to be smaller and younger. In the early 1960s, there were more than 50 major species of commercial fish in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

In the mid-1970s, it was reduced to about 30 species. The reduced parts were mainly river and lake semi-migratory fish that lay drifting eggs and semi-drifting eggs and were closely related to the middle reaches and lake environment. . In the 1990s, the number of main fishery target species further reduced to about 20 species.

Sea-freshwater migratory species and river-lake migratory species have become rare species in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and its main tributaries.

To this end, the Yangtze River Fishery Resources Management Committee, together with fishery administration and fishery management agencies at all levels along the river, has organized all parties to conduct research on the fishery economic status, fishing production and personnel engaged in fishing operations in the areas along the Yangtze River. We conducted extensive and in-depth investigations and conducted sufficient demonstrations, and in 2001 we formally proposed to the Ministry of Agriculture a plan to implement a spring fishing ban in the Yangtze River.
