Chinese, a profound and long-established language, not only carries thousands of years of wisdom, but also shows great innovation, constantly deriving new words and expressions. Words such as "pointing a rat as a duck" and "carrying a lantern to assess damage" are not only innovative, but also have clear meanings
At a recent press conference by the State Council's aquaculture department, a female journalist coined the new term "illegal fishing". This led to a lively discussion on the Internet
She asked: "How should we deal with the situation of 'illegal fishing' in some areas, and what practical measures are there in place to regulate fishing activities?"
The female journalist apparently came prepared
The word "unlawful" literally means an act that violates the law. However, on the mainland, there does not seem to be a clear legal provision prohibiting fishing. On the other hand, the Fisheries Law clearly stipulates that it is illegal to electrocute fish, poison fish, and explode fish blocks
In some places, there may be areas where fishing is prohibited, and fishing in this area may be contrary to regional requirements. However, it should be made clear that requirements and law are two different concepts and should not be conflated
In addition, the female reporter deliberately elaborated on the "long-term" when she spoke, which gave people the feeling of pushing fishing friends to the forefront
Some anglers immediately suspect: What is illegal fishing?
Some anglers also made it clear that why they always pay attention to their own vulnerable people, instead of blindly managing the actions of going to the ground cage, releasing nets, and electrocuting fish? Why does "Yunmengze" in various places have long-term net fishing, why no one cares?
Thanks to the experienced leadership, the female reporter's questions did not distract her thinking
He praised the active role played by anglers in monitoring illegal fishing, and objectively pointed out that only a few people fish illegally, and the vast majority of anglers are well-behaved
When talking about fishing management methods, the leader also mentioned the idea of "combining dredging and blocking".
In the face of a huge group of fishing enthusiasts across the country, such as more than 30 million anglers in the Yangtze River section, the management department must pay attention to strategies and methods
The journalist's question also revealed the public's misconceptions about recreational fishing. Many people see fishing as a time-killing activity that is not friendly to the environment. However, they don't realize that fishing is not only a culture and sport, but also an attitude to life
At the press conference, the reporter labeled the traditional leisure activity of fishing as "illegal fishing", which triggered the fermentation of public opinion
Many netizens asked the female reporter to explain the definition of the concept of "illegal fishing" and the source of its information
Fishing is a game for most people, not for the main purpose of fishing. Fishing is prohibited in the name of protecting the environment, as if there are too many management methods. It has also become complicated to stipulate that fishing certificates, applications, and filings have also become complicated
Most unacceptably the journalist's flippant categorization of fishing as "illegal" is not technically professional. We expect the authoritative expert media to pay more attention to illegal fishing methods, rather than taking away people's fishing preferences
