Oceangoing opportunities in wake of fishing ban
China will provide remote online training and examinations for fishermen affected by a 10-year fishing ban in the Yangtze River Basin who are willing to work on oceangoing fishing boats to help promote their re-employment, a notice published on Oct 19 said.
Issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, it required local authorities to accurately determine the employment needs of local fishermen and the local demand for oceangoing fishing crew to better match them.
In January, China began a 10-year fishing moratorium in 332 conservation areas in the Yangtze River Basin. It will be expanded to all the natural waterways of the country's longest river and its major tributaries by the start of next year.
The full-scale ban is likely to affect more than 113,000 fishing boats and nearly 280,000 fishermen in 10 provincial-level regions along the river, according to earlier estimates.
