China is the biggest country of aquatic products production, trade and consumption, fishing is an important industry of agriculture and national economy. To promote the construction of modern fisheries, are of great significance for the protection of national food security, promote economic and social development, the maintenance of national marine rights and interests, strengthen the construction of ecological environment. The Party Central Committee, the State Council attach great importance to the development of Fisheries and modern fishery construction. In February 6th this year, the State Council executive meeting topics on the development strategy of marine fishery. In March 8th, the State Council issued "several opinions on promoting the sustained and healthy development of marine fisheries" (Guo Fa [2013] No. 11), which is set up by the State Council for the first time since the new China nominal instructions of the marine fishery development document. The national modern fishery construction work in television and telephone conference, is the reform and opening up for the first time since the modern fishery construction as the subject held a national conference, held an important meeting is a critical period in China from a big country to modern fishery fishery power forward, the main task is to further implement the state made 11 document spirit, the full deployment of speeding up the modern fishery construction work. Now, Fujian, Shandong, Hubei provinces government responsible comrades introduced respectively to promote the construction of modern fisheries practices and experience, the Ministry of agriculture, the development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Finance responsible comrades of modern fishery construction for current and future a period makes arrangements, were all good. Below, I say a few opinion.
One, fully affirmed the great achievements of fishery development, a profound understanding of the importance of speeding up the construction of modern fisheries and urgency
Since the reform and opening up, China's sustained and rapid development of fishery production, become prominent spot of agriculture and rural economic development and an important growth point. The total output of aquatic products reached 59070000 tons in 2012, 11 times that of 1978, for 23 consecutive years ranked first in the world, accounting for more than 1/3 of the global output of aquatic products, provides 1/3 high-quality animal protein for dietary nutrition of urban and rural residents. The continuous optimization of the structure of fishery industry, realize the way of producing from the fishing primarily major change to the livestock based. The pelagic fishery of China from scratch, has become one of the world's major pelagic fishery countries. Great achievements have not only the development of fisheries, a strong guarantee for the supply of aquatic products, promotes the farmer and fisherman's income increase, but also play an important role in promoting international exchanges and cooperation in agriculture and agricultural products trade, safeguard the national marine rights and interests etc..
At the same time, we should see soberly, influenced by the international and domestic factors, the development of fishery in China is facing severe challenges, unsustainable problems have become increasingly prominent. One is the serious decline of fishery resources. Total fishing boats on the high quantity and power, resource destruction mode of operation of large strength and violations of the higher proportion of offshore fishing nets, far more than the amount of catch can, in some places have no fish. Two of the waters of the ecological environment is deteriorating. Water environmental pollution, red tide and other disasters occur frequently; the increase of damming the river, land reclamation and other construction, beach waters continue to be diverted, the quality and safety of aquatic products and biodiversity is under serious threat. Three is the backward fisheries infrastructure and technical equipment. Fishing fishery, standardized breeding ponds and other infrastructure construction long-term lag, fishing boats and other small, outdated equipment of high energy consumption problem is quite common, fisheries science and technology innovation ability is insufficient. Fishery safety accidents. Four is the fishery production into the high cost, high risk stage. In recent years, fuel prices, labor costs, Fisher Price and logistics cost is rising fast, cost of fisheries production and management rise into the channel. At the same time, along with the global climate change, typhoon and storm tide disasters such as frequent retransmission, significantly increased the risk of fishery production. Five is the ocean fisheries limited space for development. International Fisheries scramble for resources and fishing interests conflict intensified, fishery resource rich countries increasingly strict on foreign fishing management; marine rights struggle complex, neighboring countries infestation, catch buckle, rob our fishing vessels incidents continue to occur, forcing me to exit to increase pressure on the traditional fishing grounds. At the same time, there are problems of fishermen fishing behavior was not standardized, illegal fishing, improve and strengthen the fisheries management tasks are very arduous.
In the new historical period, to speed up the construction of modern fisheries, and promote the sustainable development of fisheries, is of great significance. First of all, it is an important way to ensure national food security. China's per capita arable land and water resource is in short supply, satisfy the increasing food demand, must have the resources and food concept, create connections, open widely the source. China's vast waters, fisheries resources is abundant, has great potential for development. By promoting the construction of modern fisheries, which can improve the supply capacity of water products, to meet the national demand for high-quality animal protein, lay a solid foundation for the national food security. Secondly, it is to promote effective means of increasing the income of peasant fishermen employment. Fishery is industrial comparative high benefit agriculture, to absorb a large number of labor employment. By promoting the construction of modern fisheries, can improve fisheries employment capacity and comprehensive benefits, effectively promote the sustained increase of peasant fishermen fishing area, promote economic and social development. Third, this is an important aspect to promote the economic development. Fisheries covers one two three industries. To speed up the construction of modern fisheries, is not only beneficial to fishermen, but also can improve the level of technical equipment of fisheries, and powerfully ships and equipment design and manufacturing, aquatic products cold processing and logistics, leisure tourism and other related industry development. Fourth, this is the objective requirement of the construction of China's beauty. Water is an important ecological system in china. By pushing |
