China Coast Guard successfully completed the 2026 high seas fishery law enforcement patrol mission in the North Pacific

On the morning of September 9, the fleet consisting of China Coast Guard Shan and Wuhu successfully completed the 2026 high seas fishery law enforcement patrol mission in the North Pacific and returned to port smoothly. This is the 11th patrol carried out by the Chinese Coast Guard in the high seas of the North Pacific. The cruise lasted 45 days, covered more than 19,800 nautical miles, and lasted more than 2,100 hours.

During the cruise, in accordance with relevant United Nations General Assembly resolutions and the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Fishery Resources on the High Seas in the North Pacific, the Chinese Coast Guard fleet increased the publicity of high seas fishery laws, regulations and conservation and management measures, strengthened the inspection and supervision of operating fishing vessels, and verified the information of registered fishing vessels in regional fishery management. A total of 95 fishing vessels from various countries were observed and recorded, 20 were boarded and inspected, and 7 helicopters were flown for law enforcement on the high seas. They effectively fulfilled their law enforcement duties on the high seas and maintained the order of fishery production in the North Pacific.

As a major marine fishery country and a member of the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Fishery Resources on the High Seas in the North Pacific, the Chinese Coast Guard sends ships to the North Pacific to carry out fishery law enforcement patrols, which is of great significance to China's participation in global ocean governance and the protection of high seas fishery resources.

In the next step, the China Coast Guard will continue to carry out in-depth fishery law enforcement patrols on the high seas, actively fulfill its obligations under the Convention, and play its due role in effectively maintaining the order of fishery production on the high seas.
