What fishing ban should be implemented in the Yangtze River?

We will implement the ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River and implement the ban on fishing in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin.

The Yangtze River Ten-Year Fishing Ban Plan is a plan announcement issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in January 2020 to ban the fishing of natural fishery resources.

In January 2020, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued a notice on the official website regarding the scope and time of the fishing ban in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin, announcing that the Yangtze River Ten-year Fishing Ban Plan will be implemented from 0:00 on January 1, 2020. . The notice stated that natural waters in the Yangtze River mainstream and important tributaries, except for aquatic life nature reserves and aquatic germplasm resource reserves, will implement a tentative 10-year year-round fishing ban from 0:00 on January 1, 2021 at the latest. Productive fishing of natural fishery resources is prohibited.

2021 is the first year of the "ten-year fishing ban" in the Yangtze River. Data released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on February 10, 2021 showed that during the ten-year ban on fishing in the Yangtze River, a total of 111,000 fishing boats were decommissioned and landed, involving 231,000 fishermen.
