A reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on September 8 that the Ministry recently issued national fisheries development plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), which sets out the goal of significantly increasing the supply of high-quality aquatic products by 2030.
By 2030, China aims to keep the area of waters used for fisheries stable, further optimize the industry's structure, and achieve both higher quality and reasonable growth in quantity, according to the plan. By then, China is expected to make steady progress in modernizing facility-based fisheries, accelerate breakthroughs in core technologies and equipment, and expand the use of big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Other targets for 2030 include continued improvement in the Yangtze River's aquatic biological integrity index, a slower decline in marine fishery resources, and stable growth in populations of rare species. Fisheries governance capacity is expected to be significantly strengthened, and the safe operation of marine fishing vessels should remain stable.
To promote high-quality aquaculture, China will stabilize and expand aquaculture areas and upgrade freshwater aquaculture and mariculture, according to the plan. For safe, regulated and sustainable capture fisheries, the country will strengthen total catch management, keep the annual domestic marine catch within 10 million metric tons, and manage fishing vessels under a classification and grading system.
The plan calls for continued implementation of the 10-year fishing ban on the Yangtze River and stronger protection of fishery resources, aquatic ecosystems and aquatic wildlife. To foster new quality productive forces in fisheries, China will improve the breeding of aquatic species, upgrade facilities and equipment, and expand AI applications.
The plan emphasizes China's responsibilities as a major fishing country and calls for developing modern distant-water fisheries, participating more deeply in global fisheries governance and expanding practical international cooperation in fisheries.

Terminal 2 (T2) of Fuzhou Changle International Airport passed provincial acceptance on Aug. 28 for its opening to the outside world, according to Fuzhou Customs.
This leap in port capacity will further enhance the comprehensive support capabilities for international passenger and cargo transport at the Fuzhou aviation port, injecting new momentum into the city's development strategy of "expanding eastward and southward, along the river and toward the sea."
Once fully operational, the project will be able to handle an annual throughput of 36 million passengers and 450,000 tonnes of cargo and mail, building an air bridge for Fuzhou to connect with and embrace the world.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said at a daily news briefing on Wednesday that, in response to Nepal's needs, China is preparing a third batch of emergency relief supplies—including Bailey bridges and epidemic prevention materials—and will send a second team of DNA identification experts.
Guo noted that following the disaster, China has maintained close communication with the embassies of relevant countries in China to jointly carry out search and rescue operations, as well as follow-up arrangements for missing persons and their families.
China attaches great importance to the safety of Chinese citizens and institutions in Nepal, is working closely with the Nepali side to make all-out efforts to search for missing Chinese nationals, and has assisted a large number of Chinese citizens in transferring to safety, Guo added.
