A few days ago, the Weifang Marine Development and Fisheries Bureau issued the "2024 Weifang Marine Off-season Fishing Management Implementation Plan" (hereinafter referred to as the plan). According to the provisions of the plan, the city's 439 fishing vessels will enter the port of registry or designated fishing port before 12 o'clock on May 1 to stop fishing, and effectively achieve "ship entry, people ashore, net storage, port standardization", to ensure the smooth implementation of the marine off-season fishing moratorium, and effectively maintain the overall stability of the city's marine off-season fishing moratorium.
The plan clarifies that all fishing vessels except for single fishing tackle, as well as auxiliary vessels that provide supporting services for fishing vessels, will be closed from 12 o'clock on May 1 to 12 o'clock on September 1. All fishing vessels that should be suspended for fishing will return to their home port or designated fishing port to stop at fishing. During the fishing moratorium, fishing vessels are not allowed to leave the port or transfer their docking places without authorization. All fishing vessels equipped with ship position monitoring terminal equipment should turn on the equipment during the process of navigation, berthing and docking, and it is strictly forbidden to close, shield, dismantle, lend and transfer without authorization. It is strictly forbidden for any unit or individual to produce, sell, transport and use fishing gear prohibited by the state. It is strictly forbidden to provide oil, ice, water and other fishing supplies to fishing vessels. It is strictly forbidden to purchase, transport, transship, freeze, sell and process illegally caught fish without legal sources.
The plan requires that the management system of the off-season fishing moratorium, such as the suspension of fishing at the port of registry, the approval of the application for transfer to the port, the intelligent monitoring and management, the cooperation of fishery law enforcement, the inspection of the shipyard, the centralized supervision, the unified punishment standard, the connection of executions, the recording of the whole process of law enforcement, and the supervision of major cases.

Why is there a moratorium on fishing during the summer season?
The reporter learned that the off-season fishing moratorium is one of the measures for the management and protection of fishery resources.
Due to the high temperature and abundant sunshine in the summer season, which is conducive to the reproduction of marine algae and ferns, the fish have sufficient food. In addition, the spawning period of fish is mostly in summer, and the fishing period can better allow fish to reproduce (and grow and mature) in the summer season, which also plays a good role in the protection of fishery resources. In order to protect the broodstock (female or male individuals that produce the next generation of organisms, also known as "broodstock") and larvae (to protect the reproduction of organisms and their larval growth), the period during which the state or international organization prohibits fishing and production activities in accordance with the law, that is, the "fishing moratorium" (also known as the "fishing ban period").
