In the past, "fishing people" turned into "fishermen"

"Fishing is not allowed here, please leave quickly." "The Yangtze River is currently banned by the entire line. Please consciously abide by national policies and protect the ecological environment." ...

Early in the morning on September 13th, the Yangtze River fisherman Cai Guangheng came to the river embankment as usual, inspected the water along the river, publicized the Yangtze River protection policy, and persuaded illegal fishermen and illegal fishingrs.

Cai Guangheng, 50, is a fisherman in Yuyue Town, Jiayu County. Such persuasion has become a must -have time for him to patrol the river every day.

"The inspection shoreline of Yuyue Town is 20 kilometers. Our fishermen carry out at least 3 patrols every morning, middle and evening." Cai Guangheng said that in order to make illegal fishingrs inorganize, they chose to patrol the river. It is also common.

Fisheries like Cai Guangheng have a total of 36 people in the county, distributed in 8 townships in the county. They were collectively referred to as the Yangtze River assistant patrolmen, and they were fishermen who had eaten by water before.

In March 2018, Jiayu County launched the Yangtze River forbidden work. According to the requirements of the 10 -year fishery plan of the Yangtze River, the scope of the ban on Jiayu County is mainly the 109.6 kilometers of the Yangtze River trunk line and the 26,000 acres of waters in the Xilianghu Jiayu area.

As the Yangtze River was banned, it was fully rolled out, and hundreds of thousands of fishermen went ashore. Among them, a group of people stayed, but changed their identities, and the former "fishing man" turned into a "fisherman".

On May 18, 2021, Cai Guangheng, as one of the first 36 retired fishermen, participated in the pre -post training class of fishery administrative patrol officers in Jiayu County, and then officially entered the fishing administration patrol position as a fisherman's transfer. A Yangtze River assisted patrolman.

"After going ashore, I also tried to go out to work, but I still missed the fishing life. I had a deep relationship with the Yangtze River for most of my life. I have deep feelings. The identity of fishermen can allow me to continue to work related to the Yangtze River." Asked why Cai Guangheng chose to be a fisherman, he said.

For decades of fishing experience, Cai Guangheng witnessed the ecological changes of the Yangtze River. He admitted that rich fish resources gradually declined about 20 years ago. "Fish is best to fight in the 1980s and 1990s. When you are lucky, you can play 2,000 pounds a day. After 2000, the fish will become worse and worse. About 20 pounds. "

"In the past, we all asked for the Yangtze River, and now we should change us to protect it." Recalling the early fishing experience, Cai Guangheng felt deeply.

"It is necessary to ban fishing. The fish in the river are getting less and less and smaller." Xie Lanquan, who was also a fisherman who had also eaten by the water, now has become a member of the fisherman's family. He has his own feelings about protecting his mother river Yangtze River.

"Originally, fishing was a livelihood, and now the fishing is for future generations." Xie Lanquan told reporters that the effect of the inbringing of the Yangtze River has gradually appeared. Now the scene of Yuyue River can often be seen in spring and winter, which makes them very pleased.

At present, 644 fishermen in Jiayu County have retreated and settled ashore. Since last year, the county has captured 4 cases (criminal cases) and 5 cases of fishery administrative penalties for the transfer of illegal fishing in the Yangtze River Public Security. Essence
