CCB News, Beijing, December 27 (Reporter Du Ximeng and Hou Yan) According to a report by China Voice of China Central Radio and Television “News Evening Peak”, on the 26th, after three deliberations, the first watershed protection law China’s rivers: the Yangtze River The Protection Law was voted and approved at the 24th meeting of the Standing Committee of the XIII National People’s Congress and will come into force on March 1, 2021. To protect the mother river of the Yangtze River, in the Future, the new law will coordinate and strengthen ecological environmental protection and restoration of the Yangtze River basin, and further consolidate the legal basis for the “great protection of the Yangtze River.”
After winter, many fish pond owners in Jiujiang, Jiangxi started collecting fish one after another to supply the market. Recently, Fu Lu, director of the Jiujiang Mianchuan City Police Station, and his colleagues detained the owner of a fish pond from electric fishing. Fu Lu introduced: “Next, in accordance with the requirements of the Yangtze River Protection Ban, we will conduct regular inspections of the wading areas. If illegal fishing is found, we will severely crack down and increase the propaganda of illegal fishing.”
In the future, fishing activities in the Yangtze River basin that damage fishing resources and the ecological environment, such as electric fish, poisoned fish, and fried fish, will face more severe penalties. This is stipulated by China’s first watershed protection law – the Yangtze River Protection Law. Wang Canfa, professor at China University of Political Science and Law, said that this time, “to protect the Yangtze River without major development” has been included in the special law to protect the Yangtze River, further emphasizing the future priority ecological and green development direction of the Yangtze River Basin. “The law includes the protection of resources, the prevention of pollution and the restoration of the ecological environment. It also includes green development. Green development actually belongs to the category of economic development, which reflects the comprehensive and systematic nature of In comparison with individual legislation, for example, legislation on prevention and control of water pollution, or special legislation on water resources, the Yangtze River Protection Law is more systematic and favors comprehensive protection. Establishing the principle of ecological priority means that when ecological protection and economic development conflict, we must Ecology is the first priority. “
The Yangtze River Basin straddles the three main plates of eastern, central, and western China, and has exceptional ecological status. As China’s first watershed law, it is of vital importance how to coordinate the different upstream and downstream areas involved in the ecological protection of the Yangtze River, and the different industries along the line, to form a protection force. . Bie Tao, director of the Department of Regulations and Standards at the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said the law focused on solving the chronic problems of the “Nine Dragons Water Control” in the former Yangtze River protection management system. . “The Yangtze River Protection Law adheres to the cooperation and coordinated protection of the entire river basin. Through the establishment of the Yangtze River Basin coordination mechanism by the state, the management system of the Yangtze River basin of unified and separate integration and overall linkage, and the governance capacities of the main and tributary banks, left and right banks, and upper, middle and lower reaches are integrated. Establish and improve the Yangtze River. unified spatial and spatial planning system for the river basin, a more comprehensive and stringent ecological environmental standards system for the Yangtze River basin, and a robust system for resource studies, environmental monitoring, ecological environmental risk early warning, systems of environmental emergency and information exchange monitoring and unified release systems in the basin “.
At present, the Yangtze River Biological Integrity Index has reached the worst “no fish” level. In response to the outstanding problems of ecosystem damage in the Yangtze River Basin, the Yangtze River Protection Law has also formulated “improve water distribution and water scheduling system, strengthen pollution prevention and control water, strengthen bans management and law enforcement, and address river and lake shores, forests, grasslands, wetlands and key areas. Lakes, the Yangtze River estuary and key reservoir areas should implement ecological restoration to enhance and restore ecosystem quality and function. “Wang Dong, Deputy Chief Engineer of the Institute of Environmental Planning and director of the Department of Environmental Planning of the Water from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said that these higher protection standards and stricter protection measures also reflect the legislative thinking of systematically rehabilitating mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes and pastures in the Yangtze River basin. “For example, for the protection of this type of ecological runoff and national ecological flow, there are special provisions in the law, which point to the ‘fish-free’ status that the Yangtze River has reached, it is proposed to carry out the assessment, survey and formulation standard of completion rate of aquatic organisms, etc. It truly reflects the characteristics of the Yangtze River basin and can also reflect the ecological environmental protection requirements corresponding to different resource endowments in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The protection of the Yangtze River is entering a phase of acceleration, “he said.
Wang Ruihe, director of the Economic Law Office of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, said that in order to effectively improve the authority and enforceability of the legal system, sanctions for violations of the ecology of the Yangtze River they will be even more severe in the future.
“The Yangtze River Protection Law strengthens the assessment, evaluation and supervision, implements a responsibility system for ecological environmental protection and an evaluation and evaluation system for the Yangtze River basin, and establishes an interview system for the Yangtze River protection to address key issues such as fishing ban, shoreline protection and illegal sand mining in the Yangtze River. Complement and perfect relevant regulations on the basis of law, greatly increase the amount of fines, increase penalties, compensate for shortcomings and deficiencies of existing laws, and effectively improve the authority and enforceability of the legal system, “said Wang Ruihe.Return to Sohu to see more
