"Fishing Capital and Port City" is Zhoushan's new image slogan. "Port city" can be understood as "modern port city", then "fishing capital" is "modern fishing base".
The "Sixth Decision" of the Municipal Party Committee clearly stated that "it is necessary to further give play to the advantages of marine fishery and build Zhoushan into a first-class modern fishery base in China". In the "3×3" industrial development strategy formulated by our city, one of the key points is to build a modern fishery base, which is also one of the "four bases" that Zhoushan should pay close attention to.
Why build a modern fishery base?
Compared with the rapid development of bulk material storage and transportation industry, advanced port industry and marine tourism industry in recent years, the development of fishery always seems to lack a domineering spirit. In the eyes of many people, Zhoushan fishery, which once had a brilliant record, is the "old man in Lian Po". Under the current circumstances, it is good for fishermen to change jobs, not to mention "second venture" and "modern base construction"
Some cadres and the masses are unclear about the current situation of Zhoushan fishery and lack confidence in its development, which is the subjective reason why Zhoushan fishery is stagnant and it is difficult to make new breakthroughs and new developments. In fact, fishery, as a traditional dominant industry in Zhoushan, has been playing an irreplaceable role in Zhoushan's regional economic development, and it is still the basic industry and pillar industry of Zhoushan's marine economy.
At present, the fishery output value still accounts for more than 20% of the city's total industrial and agricultural output value, accounting for more than 85% of the city's agricultural output value, and the proportion of Zhoushan industry involved in fishery is as high as 45%. Many industries in the tertiary industry are also closely related to fisheries, and the export of aquatic products accounts for more than 80% of the city's export earnings. At the same time, the output and quality of aquaculture have improved rapidly, forming an aquatic product processing industrial cluster with an annual processing capacity of more than 800,000 tons. The foundation of aquatic product trading market has been continuously consolidated, forming the rudiments of a number of national central fishing ports and first-,second-and third-class fishing ports, and the diversified and branded development of leisure fisheries has begun to take shape.
Therefore, relevant experts pointed out that the temporary difficulty of Zhoushan fishery at present is only the "pain" in the process of industrial structure adjustment. Zhoushan's fishery indicators are still generally higher than those of similar cities in China, and building a modern fishery base has an excellent practical foundation. The further opening of Zhoushan Port and its region will also bring new opportunities and superior conditions for the development of modern fisheries.
What is the modern fishery base like?
In June this year, the Municipal Bureau of Ocean and Fisheries and Shanghai Fisheries University jointly compiled the Outline of Building a National First-class Modern Fishery Base. The plan outlines a blueprint for a modern fishery base in 40 words: "Fishing is booming, fishing ports are booming; Advances in modern fishing boats and fishing techniques; Adequate fish and high-quality fish; Island ecology, harmonious fishing area; The fishing village is rich and the fishermen are happy. "
Zhoushan modern fishery base can be summarized as "two four" construction goals, namely, four largest and four first-class, which are the largest "modern fishing port economic zone, marine fishing and offshore fishing base, aquatic product trade distribution base and aquatic product processing base" and the first-class "characteristic mariculture base, island-type ecological leisure fishery base, marine ecological restoration demonstration base and fishing area urbanization demonstration base".
The construction of a modern fishery base is a social systematic project, which embodies the concept of "Zhoushan is near the sea, and it will prosper by the sea". It pursues not only "prospering the city by fishing", but "prospering the port by fishing and prospering the scenery by fishing" to realize the overall coordinated development of Zhoushan's "231" industry and social stability and harmony. Therefore, it is a necessary prerequisite to fully understand its significance and firmly establish confidence in building a modern fishery base.
How to build a modern fishery base?
Relevant experts believe that the primary task at present is to concentrate on building a fishing port economic zone. At present, our city has two national central fishing ports, Zhoushan Island and Daishan Gaoting. Putuo shenjiamen, Dingxi Wharf and Shengsi Caiyuan Fishing Port are applying for the national central fishing port. From the central fishing port of the island to the fishing port of shenjiamen, the rudiment of a modern fishing port economic zone has been basically formed, which integrates shelter supply and fishing machine repair, aquatic product logistics and distribution processing, fishery technology and information exchange, fishery leisure tourism and urbanization of fishing villages. The expanding West Wharf Fishing Port and Gaoting Fishing Port have also played an important role in expanding the function of Zhoushan Fishing Port, supporting fishery production and improving fishermen's lives.
From the perspective provided by the planning outline, once the functional layout of the modern fishing port economic zone with Zhoushan central fishing port and shenjiamen fishing port as the leaders, three regional central fishing ports, 10 sheltered fishing port and1coastal berthing port is formed, it will play an immediate role in improving the comprehensive strength and modernization level of Zhoushan fishery. Zhoushan is about to build the largest first-class modern fishery base in China.
