In addition, the officers handed out brochures and held lectures to strengthen promotion of the ecological environment. Some special dustbins are provided in ship locks, ports and harbors. An "old-for-new" service is being offered for garbage bags. Boat people will be able to get new bags with the old ones.

According to the water transport bureau, any violator that destroys river water will face a warning and fines.
