To promote the quality of Shanghai's ecological environment to leap forward with greater actions.
From 2021, the Yangtze River will implement a ten-year ban on fishing. The Shanghai section of the Yangtze River completed the withdrawal of fishing ahead of schedule in 2018, and has now entered a new stage of simultaneous soft and hard measures, strengthening the law enforcement of the ban on fishing, cracking down on illegal fishing, and consolidating the effectiveness of the ban on fishing.
In terms of hardware facilities, the Changxing Island Official Base Wharf, as the home port of official law enforcement boats, will effectively improve the level of law enforcement capabilities after completion. In the afternoon, Gong Zheng and his party came to the wharf to inspect the construction situation on the spot and comfort the staff of the law enforcement corps of the Municipal Agricultural and Rural Committee. In terms of software mechanisms, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, together with the "two provinces and one city" in Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, established a coordination mechanism for the management of the ban on fishing in the Yangtze River estuary between the ministry and the province, and carried out joint law enforcement last year. Municipal leaders visited the staff of the Office of condolence coordination mechanism to learn more about the ban on fishing on the Yangtze River. In order to strengthen the empowerment of science and technology, the Shanghai Changjiang fishing ban intelligent control system was basically completed at the end of last year. Gong Zheng observed the system drill, which can intelligently monitor the 3200 square kilometers of the Yangtze River fishing ban management area around the clock and the whole water area, solve the law enforcement problems, and form a powerful deterrent.

It is necessary to accelerate the construction of infrastructure, improve the supervision and law enforcement and cross-regional coordination mechanism, make good use of digital and intelligent means, rectify illegal industrial chains such as illegal fishing with an iron fist, and provide a "Shanghai plan" for intelligent control of the Yangtze River Basin. It is necessary to change the way of production and lifestyle, encourage the public to participate together, jointly guard the "ten-year ban on fishing", and guard the clear water of the river.
In the more than five years since its opening, Changxing Island Country Park has received more than 5.6 million visitors.
