In 2026, the guangdong province integrated marine law enforcement brigade (hereinafter referred to as “the general force”) advanced the philosophy of xi jinping's ecological civilization, strictly enforced the pearl river closure system, severely addressed all types of illegal fishing and effectively conserved aquatic living resources in the basin. In all, more than 26,000 law enforcement personnel were deployed throughout the province, more than 3,600 law enforcement vessels and 3,200 law enforcement vehicles, 660 illegal fishing vessels were seized, 130,000 metres were cleared and 186 cases involving fishing violations were investigated, of which 13 were “two-law interface” cases and 26 were referred to the judiciary。
Human+technology enhanced inspection controls. During the fishing ban, the force carried out eight targeted and unannounced visits, focusing on illegal fishing, such as electric poisoning, the “closure network” and cages, covering more than a thousand kilometres of shore and hundreds of fishing villages and towns. The city has 24-hour security checkpoints with drone air patrols to remove hidden water from the regulatory blind zone. The city of foshan, based on the city-wide integrated management system for “smart fisheries”, has implemented a 24-hour video surveillance of 53 key waters of the city, using the ai model for warning of poaching, building a three-pronged model of “normal surveillance + concentration + festivities” and capturing 162 illegal fishing vessels。

The target is directed towards precision law enforcement. Problem-oriented approaches have been maintained, with special treatment being carried out in the form of focused electric fish and illegal fishing by three-nil vessels. The agricultural rural department of the south sea district of fushan city, which has been following the weak waters of the guang buddha border, has spent six months digging deep and crouching rows. The joint public security services have succeeded in eliminating a group of electric fish that collects and sells in the north river, where more than 1,000 kilograms of fish, a truck carrying one and a shipment of electric fish have been found. In nakayama, close attention was paid to the sale of the grid, and four cases of the sale of electric fish equipment were detected。

Multi-religious education creates a good atmosphere. As an opportunity for the implementation of the new fisheries law, the task force has simultaneously promoted legal literacy and law enforcement control, relying on more than 20 press releases and over 400,000 video broadcasts from provincial and above-provincial media, and reaching out to fishing ports, fishing villages and fishing vessel berths, through cruises, discussions, case interpretation and the issuance of open letters, in order to create a climate conducive to a legal ban on fishing. Access to public reporting channels, broad popular participation in monitoring, and the establishment of an interactive “fish for all” mechanism for receiving leads, rapid verification, precise disposal and timely feedback. The city of zhaqing combines seedling and fishing ban campaigns, and the united city free association organizes a national aquatic synchronous breeding campaign to guide the population towards conservation of aquatic organisms and to promote the concept of environmental protection “to preserve the river's ecology and build a green river”。
