禁漁
fishing ban
為了改變“無魚”困局，長江開啟了十年禁漁。
根據《國務院辦公廳關於加強長江水生生物保護工作的意見》以及農業農村部、財政部和人力資源社會保障部印發的《長江流域重點水域禁捕和建立補償制度實施方案》，2020年1月1日起，長江流域的重點水域將分類分階段實行漁業禁捕。
Starting from this year, the fishing ban will be observed in 332 conservation areas in the Yangtze River basin, which will also be expanded to all natural waterways of the river and its major tributaries from no later than Jan 1, 2021.
2020年起，長江流域332個保護區全面禁止生產性捕撈;最遲自2021年1月1日零時起，禁漁範圍將擴大至所有長江干流和重要支流天然水域。
【知識點】
在水文學上，支流(tributary)指匯入另一條河流(或其他水體)而不直接入海的河流。
支流所匯入的河流稱為幹流或主流(mainstream)，兩河或多河交匯之處稱為合流或合流處(confluence)。與支流相反的情況稱為分流(distributary)。
長江干流(the Yangtze River mainstream)是指青海省曲麻萊縣以下至長江河口的長江干流江段;重要支流(major tributaries)是指岷江、沱江、赤水河、嘉陵江、烏江、漢江等重要通江河流在甘肅、陝西、雲南、貴州、四川、重慶、湖北境內的幹流江段，大渡河在青海和四川境內的幹流河段，以及各省份確定的其他重要支流。
Fishing will also be prohibited on natural waterways of large lakes connected to the Yangtze such as the Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake for 10 years starting from no later than Jan 1, 2021.
對鄱陽湖、洞庭湖等大型通江湖泊天然水域，最遲自2021年1月1日零時起實行暫定為期10年的常年禁捕。
禁捕是有效緩解長江生物資源衰退和生物多樣性下降危機的關鍵之舉。
The Yangtze River has long been suffering from human activities such as overfishing, pollution and damming.
長江長期以來受過度捕撈、水域汙染、攔河築壩等人類活動的影響。
Biological deterioration has reduced fishing activities along the Yangtze as well, which now only produces 0.32 percent of China's total freshwater aquatic products. In recent years, annual catch from the Yangtze has fallen to less than 100,000 tonnes from more than 420,000 tonnes in the 1950s.
生態破壞也使得漁業生產受到嚴重影響。20世紀50年代，年長江流域天然捕撈量超過42萬噸，近年來長江每年的捕撈量也不足10萬噸，約佔全國淡水水產品總量的0.32%。
▌多方合力保障28萬漁民生計
The 10-year ban is estimated to affect more than 113,000 fishing boats and nearly 280,000 fishermen in 10 provincial regions along the river. The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has promised to provide social security services, financial support and vocational trainings for fishermen who have to find new ways of living.
根據測算，長江流域重點水域禁捕共涉及沿江10個省市的合法持證漁船11.3萬多艘、漁民近28萬人。農業農村部承諾統籌協調落實退捕漁民過渡期生活補助、社會保障、職業技能培訓等政策。
▌禁捕後仍要做大量工作以確保生態修復
Efforts will also be made to protect rare species and enhance monitoring over aquatic life in the Yangtze, and to improve protection and management strategies in accordance with biological resource restoration progress.
針對珍稀物種採取保護措施;構建長江水生生物調查監測平臺;根據漁業資源恢復情況，改進保護管理政策。
