In 2024, the Fourth Fishery Administration Squadron of the Agricultural Law Enforcement Brigade of Songbei District, Harbin City, of the Songha Wetland Conservation Area of ​​China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF), achieved remarkable results in combating illegal fishing and protecting fishery resources. A total of 81 special law enforcement actions were carried out throughout the year, an average of more than 6 times a month, and 324 law enforcement personnel were dispatched to clean up illegal fishing tools such as hanging nets and ground traps, effectively combating illegal fishing. During the 77-day fishing ban period, all members of the squadron worked without rest, dispatched 70 day shifts and 35 night shifts to ensure law enforcement. Through media publicity and posting notices, the public's understanding and compliance with the fishing ban policy has been improved.

 




In terms of handling reports and complaints, the squadron handled a total of 254 cases, with a completion rate of 99%, showing a zero-tolerance attitude towards illegal acts. At the same time, the volunteers' reports were taken seriously, and 33 illegal occupations of wetlands were cleared and banned. They actively cooperate with volunteers to carry out special cleaning of illegal fishing gear such as family-killing nets. A total of more than 300 ground traps and 1,800 meters of hanging nets were cleaned throughout the year, which was highly recognized by volunteers.

 



Through these actions, the Fourth Fishery Administration Squadron not only protected the water ecology and fishery resources, but also raised the public's awareness of fishery resource protection, demonstrated the strictness of law enforcement and zero tolerance for illegal acts, and made positive contributions to building a beautiful home and protecting the mother river.

Unveiling the Mysteries of Cetaceans in the South China Sea: Chinese Scientists Describe Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMAs)

Image
The world’s ocean ecosystems are facing mounting threats—climate change, marine pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction due to human activities, to name a few. These pressures are particularly dangerous for marine mammals like cetaceans, whose survival hinges on healthy habitats and stable populations. Yet, in regions like the South China Sea, where biodiversity is exceptionally high, little research has been done to understand the needs and habitats of cetaceans. This lack of data has left a gap in our knowledge and made it challenging to establish targeted conservation strategies. Recognizing this, Chinese scientists have now set out to fill these gaps and contribute essential data to inform future policy and management, aiming to protect these vulnerable species and support the objectives of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). In a landmark study published on October 8, 2024, in Biological Conservation, Dr. Li Songhai and his team from the Institute of...
