海事护航2.6万艘渔船开启新一轮耕海牧渔

On September 1st, the four-month fishing moratorium in northern Bohai and Yellow Seas concluded, ushering in a busy fishing season with 26,000 vessels embarking on operations. To mitigate safety risks during the active period, China's Ministry of Transport launched the '2026 Safeguard Fishing' initiative, deploying maritime patrol ships, drones, and personnel to monitor and manage commercial and fishing vessel activities. Collaborative efforts from regional maritime bureaus aim to address crowded shipping lanes and enforce safety measures. Key industries like fishing, shipping, and petrochemicals contribute to the dynamic activity in these coastal waters, highlighting the importance of navigation safety and awareness programs for seafarers and fishermen.
