On May 17, the third round of the second batch of central ecological and environmental protection inspectors reported a number of typical cases, including the poor protection and restoration of Poyang Lake in Jiangxi Province, and the frequent occurrence of ecological and environmental problems.
The Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervision Group inspected Jiangxi Province and found that there are still a large number of artificially built dwarf embankments in the Poyang Lake area of Nanchang, Jiujiang and Shangrao, and there are also fish thieves who illegally fish by pulling nets and electric fish. From 2022 to 2023, five finless porpoises were found dead in Poyang Lake from fishing nets or entangled in fishing nets. The sand and gravel wharf in Lushan City, Jiujiang was illegally constructed, and the surrounding lake was polluted by oil pollution. During an unannounced visit to the scene, the inspection team saw a small finless porpoise struggling desperately in a piece of oil. The inspection team also found that the problem of agricultural non-point source pollution in Poyang Lake is prominent. The lack of supervision and ineffective work of the local authorities has led to the long-term existence of related problems in the protection and restoration of Poyang Lake.
"China Environment News" disclosed the unannounced visit.
According to reports, on March 24 this year, the inspection team found that an oil spill occurred from an illegal dredging vessel, and a small finless porpoise was trapped in the oil-contaminated area.

"It's a finless porpoise!" The inspectors couldn't believe what they were seeing. On the water, 2.7 kilometers from the core area of the Yangtze River Finless Porpoise Provincial Nature Reserve in Poyang Lake, a small finless porpoise spun around and struggled to find a way out of the oil, but failed.
A comrade from the relevant department of Lushan City in Jiujiang said, "It is absolutely impossible to be a finless porpoise!" It's just a big herring. ”
"How could it be a herring, such a distinct feature of a finless porpoise, without a dorsal fin. Need immediate help! After the inspectors corrected him, the comrade immediately said that it might be a blackfish or an otter.
After repeated explanations by the inspectors, the comrade finally admitted that it was a small finless porpoise and explained that it was only a small probability event.
According to reports, after the small finless porpoise was discovered, because there were no rescue conditions at that time, the inspectors, under the guidance of experts, could only ask the relevant staff to drive away and guide the small finless porpoise to swim out of the oily area.
The inspectors found that the location of the finless porpoise was the construction site of the comprehensive wharf in the Shashan operation area of the Xingzi Port District of Jiujiang Port, which is located in Shashan Village, Xingzi Town, Lushan City. In March 2024, the inspection team found that the project was undergoing dredging operations. On March 22 and 24, two oil spills occurred from dredged vessels, and the Jiangxi Provincial Port Group, the construction unit, neither reported nor took emergency measures, allowing the oil to pollute the surrounding lake.
It is only 2.7 kilometers away from the core area of the Yangtze River Finless Porpoise Provincial Nature Reserve in Poyang Lake, has the impact on the ecological environment been considered in the construction of the project?
The Jiangxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs made a detailed assessment of the impact of the project on the ecological environment of the first phase of the comprehensive wharf project in the Shashan operation area of Xingzigang District of Jiujiang Port on the important aquatic organisms and their habitats in Poyang Lake, which mentioned the impact on the finless porpoise. At the same time, the results show that the underwater construction of the project should avoid the fish spawning and breeding period (March to June) and the feeding and fattening period of fish fry, and choose the dry season from December to February of the following year, but mainly observe the migration of the finless porpoise to avoid causing damage to the finless porpoise. Therefore, the dredging operation of the project in March is an illegal operation.
The finless porpoise is the only cetacean in the Yangtze River, a national first-class key protected wild animal, and an important indicator species to test the effectiveness of the Yangtze River protection and the health status of the Yangtze River ecosystem. The finless porpoise was once on the verge of extinction due to overfishing and other human activities. According to the results of the 2022 Yangtze finless porpoise scientific expedition released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in 2022, the number of Yangtze finless porpoises reached 1,249, achieving a historic rebound.
Nearly half of the more than 1,000 finless porpoises live in Poyang Lake. According to the 2022 survey, the population of finless porpoises in Poyang Lake is about 492, and its distribution range is gradually expanding. This also shows that the ecological environment of Poyang Lake continues to improve, and the protection measures for finless porpoises are effective and effective. The incident of the small finless porpoise trapped in oil pollution shows that there are loopholes in its habitat protection work.
Inspectors were also threatened while collecting evidence of illegal fishing in the area, according to reports.
The inspectors recalled that at that time, in the lake area of Lushan City, Jiujiang, especially in the Changhu Wei, there were more than a dozen fish thieves who illegally fished by pulling nets and electric fish. Inspectors wanted to take pictures with drones, but the fish thieves obstructed them.
The person who talked to the inspectors had a bad attitude, and when the inspectors insisted on taking pictures and collecting evidence and were about to leave, he also lay down at the window of the inspectors' car and threatened.

When the central ecological and environmental protection inspector reported the typical case, he pointed out that the relevant departments of Jiangxi Province and the three cities of Nanchang, Jiujiang and Shangrao Yanhu did not have a good understanding of the importance of "putting the restoration of the Yangtze River ecological environment in an overwhelming position", and did not pay enough attention to the construction of ecological civilization. The inspection team will further investigate and verify the relevant situation, and do a good job of follow-up inspection work as required.
On May 17, the Standing Committee of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee held a meeting, and Yin Hong, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, presided over the meeting. The meeting listened to the report on the third round of the second batch of central ecological and environmental protection inspectors to disclose the first typical case in Jiangxi Province.
The meeting emphasized that the typical cases exposed this time pointed out the problem of "ineffective protection and restoration of Poyang Lake, and frequent ecological and environmental problems", which fully reflected that some places do not have a good understanding of the implementation of the ecological and environmental protection of the Yangtze River, lack of supervision, and ineffective work. It is necessary to seriously reflect, collect all the orders, take the initiative to admit and collect the accounts, analyze the reasons, clarify the responsibilities, and resolutely do a good job in rectification and rectification. It is necessary to adhere to the principle of supervising and reforming, implementing reforms, paying close attention to formulating rectification plans, implementing main responsibilities, refining and improving measures, and ensuring the effectiveness of rectification. It is necessary to insist on drawing inferences from one example, systematically promote the comprehensive improvement of the ecological environment of Poyang Lake as a whole, comprehensively improve the level of ecological and environmental protection of Poyang Lake, and effectively protect the clear water of the lake.
