When will the fishing ban in Guangdong end in 2023?

In 2023, the fishing season in Guangdong Province will be from May 1 day to August 16, and the fishing season in Chaozhou, Jieyang and Shanwei is slightly different. During the fishing ban, any fishing operation is strictly prohibited to protect precious fishery resources.

Guangdong province is rich in marine fishery resources, and it is a major export province of seafood in China. Overfishing has also seriously damaged the marine ecological environment. Therefore, in order to rationally utilize and manage water resources and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of fishermen, Guangdong Province has been implementing a fishing ban policy for many years. It is understood that the fishing season in Guangdong Province in 2023 is from May 1 day to August 16. During the closed fishing period, any fishing operation, including fishing boats entering the closed fishing waters and using all fishing tools, is strictly prohibited. Normal fishing activities can be carried out outside the closed fishing season. Closed fishing season is an effective measure to protect marine fishery resources, aiming at restoring and updating aquatic resources and benefiting fishermen for a long time. It should be pointed out that the fishing seasons in some waters of Chaozhou, Jieyang and Shanwei are slightly different, and the specific time can be consulted with the local fishery authorities. In addition, the closed fishing season is also an important period for the fishery management department to publicize and train fishery practitioners. Carrying out publicity and education can make fishermen better abide by laws and regulations and enhance their awareness of protecting marine resources.

What kind of punishment will there be if fishing is prohibited during the fishing season? According to "People's Republic of China (PRC) Fisheries Law" and other laws and regulations, it is illegal to fish during the fishing ban period, and the relevant personnel will face penalties such as fines, confiscation of catches, and revocation of fishing business licenses. At the same time, those who cause heavy losses may also need to bear criminal responsibility.

Fishing ban is an important measure to protect the marine ecological environment and water resources, and also an effective way to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of fishermen. In 2023, Guangdong Province will be closed to fishing from May 1 day to August 16, during which fishing is prohibited. Everyone should abide by relevant regulations and protect valuable marine resources.

Legal basis:

Article 42 of the Fisheries Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) prohibits fishing in key waters, germplasm resources and breeding areas of precious fishery resources, water areas where fishery resources are exhausted, aquatic animal and plant protection areas and their adjacent waters, and waters outside specific areas. Activities in violation of fishing and fishing ban are prohibited.
