In connection with the inspection of fishery safety and law enforcement work such as the moratorium on fishing in the summer season, the prohibition of fishing on the Yangtze River, and the prevention of non-violations, we will organize and carry out safety inspections on flood control and anti-Taiwan platforms, focusing on the fire prevention and wind prevention of fishing port facilities and fishing vessels, as well as the implementation of arrangements for Taiwan prevention and disaster reduction. Actively coordinate and cooperate with relevant departments to carry out safety inspections of river embankments and ditches, reservoir dams and tide-proof embankments, investigate the hidden dangers of aquaculture disasters, set up hidden danger investigation accounts, and rectify and eliminate the hidden dangers item by item.

The circular requires that all localities improve and maintain public service facilities in fishing ports, clear obstacles in waterways and dredging in port ponds, and set up temporary Anchorage and wind shelter facilities in accordance with local conditions, so as to improve the safety and security capacity of fishing ports. Build and maintain fishery safety communication facilities, strengthen the construction of fishery communication network, and improve the communication guarantee capacity of flood control stations. To organize and carry out various forms of publicity, education and training activities and emergency drills for Taiwan prevention, so as to improve the fishermen's awareness of Taiwan defense and their ability to save themselves. We will actively promote fishery insurance, expand the scope and coverage of fishery policy insurance, and improve the post-disaster reconstruction and recovery production capacity of fishermen. Strictly implement the system of 24-hour emergency duty and leadership, and urge enterprises, shipowners and aquaculture personnel to do a good job of emergency duty. We will strengthen coordination and cooperation with meteorological, maritime, and water conservancy departments, further improve and improve inter-provincial and inter-regional fishery Taiwan prevention and coordination mechanisms, and jointly do a good job in forecasting and early warning, rescue and disaster relief, aftercare and safety management of nearby non-local fishing vessels.
