2023-07-05
The vast Yangtze River flows eastward, and its protection and governance are closely related to the well-being of over 400 million people in the basin. Recently, the reporter visited the Changjiang Water Resources Commission of the Ministry of Water Resources, the Yangtze River Navigation Administration of the Ministry of Transport, the Yangtze River Basin Ecological Environment Supervision and Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Ecological Environment, the Yangtze River Shipping Public Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the Yangtze River Basin Fishery Supervision and Administration Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and other river basin management organizations to see the changes in river governance in the new era. A "blue" map has been drawn from Bashan Shushui to Jiangnan Watertown, from breaking the "heavy reclamation of the Yangtze River" to the "10-year fishing ban" on the Yangtze River, from the preparation of the Comprehensive Plan for the Yangtze River Basin (2012-2030) to the implementation of the Yangtze River Protection Law of the China, in recent years, the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have placed the restoration of the ecological environment of the Yangtze River in an overwhelming position to promote the comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development. "The ten words of" jointly focusing on major protection and not engaging in major development "can be said to be enlightening." Hu Jiajun, deputy director of the Yangtze River Water board, introduced that in recent years, the Yangtze River Commission has organized the preparation of the special water conservancy plan for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the overall plan for the protection, development and utilization of the Yangtze River coastline, etc., further improving the basin planning system, and increasing the role of planning constraints and guidance. At the same time, the Yangtze River Commission has also taken the lead in establishing the Yangtze River Governance and Protection Science and Technology Innovation Alliance based on the concept of "common", and has initially established a cross departmental and cross regional cooperation mechanism. Taking river sand mining as an example, we have created a management model of "relying on law, taking overall responsibility from the government, leading by water conservancy, and coordinating with departments". Together with departments such as the Yangtze River Shipping Public Security Bureau, we have achieved the fundamental transformation of river sand mining from chaos to governance. The Yaojiagang Chemical Park in Zhijiang City, Hubei Province, guarding the green water flowing towards the Jingjiang River, boasts numerous factory buildings and lush greenery. In the southeast corner of the park, the sewage treatment plant in the west of Zhijiang City is operating busily. Industrial wastewater can only be discharged after more than ten processes such as sedimentation and biological treatment. In the circulating water tank connected to the drainage outlet, a group of red koi are swimming happily. On the banks of the Yangtze River, reporters have been walking all the way recently to observe the reappearance of blue water and waves in lakes that used to be "pole to pole". "Fishermen" have come ashore and transformed into "fish protectors"; The scattered industrial docks have transformed into riverside parks, and some endangered birds have become frequent visitors to wetlands along the river... With the continuous promotion of large-scale conservation, the ecological environment quality of the Yangtze River continues to improve. Xu Chong, Director of the Yangtze River Basin Ecological Environment Supervision and Administration Bureau, introduced that the proportion of high-quality water quality sections in the Yangtze River Basin has increased from 81.8% in 2015 to 98.1% in 2022. The main stream of the Yangtze River has maintained Class II water quality for three consecutive years since 2020. How well the ecological environment is restored depends on where the birds fly and where the fish swim. Ma Yi, Director of the Yangtze River Basin Fisheries Supervision and Management Office, introduced that the population of the rare species Yangtze River finless porpoise reached 1249 in 2022, an increase of 20% compared to 1012 in 2017, achieving a historic rebound; In 2022, 193 species of fish were monitored in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin, an increase of 25 species from 168 in 2020. Continuously releasing the Yellow "Golden" waterway effect, the throughput of the main line reached 3.59 billion tons, ranking first in the world for 18 consecutive years; The billion ton port continues to increase, currently reaching 1
