We have not only solved the case, but also popularized the law and emphasized the protection of the Yangtze River ecology! We have made residents aware that not only is fishing illegal, but purchasing and consuming fish from unknown sources may also be subject to administrative penalties. It is truly a win-win situation, achieving a perfect unity of social and legal effects, and making the hearing a 'classroom of rule of law at home'. Recently, the Jingkou District Procuratorate of Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province held a public hearing on an illegal fishing of aquatic products case in the Beigushan community, and Li Xinchao, a representative of the Jingkou District People's Congress who participated in the hearing, affirmed. 2023 From November 2024 to March 2024, Zhang, Wang, Zhao, and others went to the Yangtze River near Xilaiqiao in Yangzhong City multiple times to illegally catch catfish, whitefish, and other aquatic products using single line and single hook fishing. After sales, they earned a total profit of over 20000 yuan. After the case was transferred to the Jingkou District Prosecutor's Office, the prosecutor found that Zhang, Wang, and Zhao did not use prohibited fishing gear, the criminal circumstances were relatively minor, and there were lenient circumstances such as surrendering and pleading guilty. A public hearing can be held to hear the opinions of relevant personnel on the handling of this case. “ We must not only handle cases well, but also bring the rule of law and ecological awareness into the hearts of the masses. ”In order to break the distance of legal propaganda and amplify the legal and social effects of case handling, the Jingkou District Procuratorate specially selected the hearing in the Beigu Mountain community adjacent to the waters of Beigu Bay. Beigu Bay is not only a popular Yangtze River scenic spot for citizens, but also a key area for fishing bans. At the hearing, the prosecuting attorney conducted legal education based on the case, starting with the damage of illegal fishing to the ecology of the Yangtze River, using real cases to make everyone realize that overfishing can lead to a reduction in fish resources and an imbalance in aquatic ecology. Then, the prosecutor systematically interpreted the constituent elements and legal consequences of the crime of illegal fishing of aquatic products, and transformed professional legal knowledge into "common language" that residents can understand. After listening to the details of the case and the prosecutor's interpretation of the law, the hearing officers and the on-site audience discussed the situation and ultimately agreed not to prosecute Zhang, Wang, and Zhao. “ Opening the hearing to the community and allowing residents to have close contact with case handling is much more effective than simply distributing promotional materials! ”Yin Ming, a representative of the Jingkou District People's Congress who served as a hearing officer, sighed. Chen Ping, the People's Supervisor of Zhenjiang City, put forward a suggestion from the perspective of long-term governance: "I hope to carry out more such activities in the future, and combine them with the Yangtze River fishing ban policy to form a normalized publicity mechanism, so that the awareness of protecting the Yangtze River and abiding by laws and regulations can take root in the hearts of more people
