Chapter 706: Chapter 483: Abundance of Talents_2

"Which police boats are involved?"

"Reporting to Secretary Lu, our City Bureau Water Division has two law enforcent boats, Linghai Police Bureau has one, and Changhang Bureau has one. Adding the three from Changhang Jiangcheng Branch and Jiangcheng Water Police Division, our police side has a total of seven law enforcent vessels participating in the operation."

"Changhang Jiangcheng Branch and Jiangcheng Police Bureau Water Division are also sending boats?"

"Their three patrol boats happen to co to Binjiang for major repairs. A comrade from the Linghai Police Bureau is familiar with them. Considering we have insufficient enforcent vessels, they requested assistance from Jiangcheng colleagues."

These seven law enforcent vessels, three of them were dispatched by Xu Sanye, the forr leader of Salted Fish, as a support under the guise of being repaired.

The three vessels from Water Police Station and Changhang Bureau were almost scrapped and were sent to Bailong Port Shipbuilding Factory for ergency repairs nine days ago, considering the shortage of law enforcent vessels.

It can be said that nine days ago, the only real vessel the Binjiang Police System had for patrolling the Yangtze River was the 001, which also belonged to the Port Supervision Bureau.

Fortunately, the Water Police Station had already ordered one, which would be delivered in two months.

The Port Supervision Bureau sponsored a boat to Linghai Police Bureau, but it would not be delivered until next March.

If this crackdown goes well, the Water Resources Bureau promised to sponsor a patrol boat for the Water Police Station.

Director Chen was thinking that, with the two being built by Changhang Bureau, soon the Binjiang Waters wouldn’t have to rely on an old tugboat converted into a law enforcent rescue boat carrying most of the burden. Secretary Lu, puzzled, asked, "Why does Fishery Administration pay so much attention to illegal sand-mining? Even the Agricultural Ministry East Sea District Fishery Bureau and the Provincial Fishery Administration are sending Fishery Administration ships!"

Many law enforcent vessels were set to participate in the operation, yet none belonged to the Water Resources Bureau.

Director Cai, unfamiliar with the situation and embarrassed to ask, looked to Director Chen again.

"The ’National Team’ and ’Provincial Team’ of the Fishery Administration pay so much attention for two reasons: firstly, illegal sand-mining directly harms the ecology of the Yangtze River. The high-power sand suction pumps on the mining boats, when operated, suck up the aquatic life from the riverbed, damaging the ecosystem and naturally the fish and shrimp cannot survive.

The Yangtze River Fishery Resources Managent Committee Office of the Agricultural Ministry is based in the East Sea District Fishery Bureau. They are responsible for managing fishery resources along the entire Yangtze River. Relying solely on themselves, it’s hard to protect the ecology of the Yangtze River and its fishery resources. Seeing our determination to address the issue of illegal sand-mining, they naturally want to support us."

Director Chen, suppressing a smile, continued, "As for the participation of the directly affiliated brigade of the Provincial Fishery Admin Team, it’s because this brigade was recently established and just equipped with a fairly advanced 500-ton Fishery Administration ship. With millions invested, it cannot just anchor in the river; it will definitely need to enforce the law at sea.

They are here not only to train in actual combat, allowing the newly equipped Fishery Administration ship to quickly beco operational but also to visit Binjiang to consider establishing the base of their directly affiliated brigade, that is, the Fishery Administration pier, in Binjiang. At the sa ti, like the East Sea District Fishery Bureau, they are responsible for protecting the Yangtze River’s fishery resources."

Is it that easy to protect the Yangtze River’s fishery resources?

Even if all the sand-mining boats in Binjiang Waters are cleared, what problem does it solve?

Secretary Lu felt there was more to this, and asked, "And the second reason?"

Director Chen knew he couldn’t hide it from the secretary, quickly said, "Protecting common fish resources is indeed difficult for the Fishery Administration, but protecting eel fry resources is highly valued by both the national and provincial governnts, because it not only involves export earnings but also directly affects whether Changhang transportation is smooth.

Since 1988, our Police Bureau and Changhang Bureau have fully assisted them in cracking down on illegal eel fry fishing, continuously assisting to this day without interruption. In assisting the Fishery Administration with protecting the Yangtze River’s fishery resources, our Binjiang Police system has an extrely touching deed."

"What deed?"

"Linghai Police Bureau once had a Yanjiang Police Station on the riverside, and its Director at that ti was Xu Sanye. Comrade Xu Sanye saw that the illegal eel fry fishing boats had blocked the Yangtze River. Passenger ships stopped sailing, cargo ships couldn’t enter ports, barges couldn’t move through the locks, and even the coal needed by the Tiansheng Port power plant couldn’t be transported in. Every day, collisions occurred on the river, resulting in people falling overboard and even drowning. Thus, he took the initiative to collaborate with Port Supervision, Customs, and other departnts..."

Director Chen paused, then continued, "After Xu Sanye succumbed to illness due to overwork, Comrade Han Yu, his apprentice, inherited his will and has been working by the river. While combatting cris on the water, he also assists the Fishery Administration, Port Supervision, and other departnts in law enforcent, as well as the local governnt in typhoon flood prevention and disaster rescue."

Secretary Lu had heard more than once just how severe the issue of illegal eel fry fishing was and how rampant the criminals were, but he hadn’t expected such a story.

Mayor Wang, deeply moved, said, "For ten years, both the old and new generations of police officers have been assisting the Fishery Administration in law enforcent. Now it’s the Fishery Administration’s turn to assist, and cracking down on illegal sand-mining also directly relates to the protection of the Yangtze River’s fishery resources, so the Fishery Administration has to help, right?"

"That’s right, Comrade Han Yu specially made a trip to the East Sea District Fishery Bureau. The leadership of the East Sea District Fishery Bureau not only agreed to dispatch a Fishery Administration ship to assist enforcent but also a deputy director in charge of the Yangtze River Fishery Resources Managent Office plans to co to Binjiang personally to participate in directing the operation."

"What about Customs? What does Customs have to do with illegal sand-mining?"

"Secretary Lu, Customs has nothing to do with illegal sand-mining, but it is related to Xu Sanye and his apprentices."
