The life of Yueyang fishermen

At noon on June 15, fisherman Liu Hao rushed into his home and brought good news to his family. Attended Yueyang Vocational Secondary School 1 month training and got electrician technical certificate. This time, 23 fishermen learned a skill like Liu Hao. After attending the training of electricians, electrical appliances maintenance and welders for free, they are about to embark on their dream jobs after being recommended by the county labor department.

A new house boat new career, a new job and a new prospect are like a ray of sunshine breaking through clouds and warming people's hearts in Yueyang County, which is "ashore".

"House boat" is a special difficult group formed in the history of Dongting Lake area. There are many fishermen who take boats as their home in history. These fishermen are not only from this province, but also from other provinces such as Hubei and Jiangsu. Due to various historical reasons, their living conditions are very poor. Although the "family boat reconstruction" was carried out in the 1970s, many fishermen still failed to settle ashore. The area of East Dongting Lake under the jurisdiction of Yueyang County is 1328 square kilometers, accounting for about 49% of the Dongting Lake area. It is the largest "home" of aquatic resources in the Yangtze River system, thus attracting a large number of fishermen to gather here. According to statistics, there are only more than 2,300 ships operating in the waters under the jurisdiction of Yueyang County all the year round, including 366 fishermen 1290 people, all of whom are basically "three noes" without hukou, academic qualifications and other skills. They have no fixed place to live, wandering on the lake, living in a bad environment and living in a very difficult life.

The provincial party committee and government are very concerned about the special difficulties of this special group, and have introduced a series of measures to benefit the people in recent years. First, the policies of the provincial party Committee and the provincial government on the relief of Yueyang fishermen: First, the implementation of professional fishermen's housing projects. Helping fishermen to settle ashore is the most important thing to solve the difficulties. For professional fishermen without housing, centralized resettlement or decentralized resettlement shall be implemented in accordance with the principle of "voluntary priority and policy support" to help them all settle ashore; Provincial, municipal and county financial subsidies for professional fishermen to build houses ashore are 20,000 yuan per household, of which the provincial financial burden is 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, and the municipal and county financial burden is 0.5 million yuan; Homestead is planned by the local county-level government in a unified way, provided free of charge and free of building permit fees. The county government where the professional fishermen are located is responsible for the specific organization and implementation. Governments at all levels and relevant departments should study specific measures, give key support to the construction of infrastructure and public welfare facilities in centralized resettlement communities, improve the production and living conditions of centralized resettlement fishermen, increase investment in infrastructure, public welfare facilities and environmental construction, give priority to rural road construction, rural energy construction, rural clinic construction and other projects, and help them solve practical difficulties such as poor information, inconvenient transportation and difficult medical treatment. In accordance with the principle of respecting history and embodying voluntariness, combined with the resettlement situation of housing projects, the hukou problem of fishermen without hukou will be solved free of charge.

Second, implement the employment assistance plan. The fishermen who settled ashore are listed as people with employment difficulties, adhere to the combination of market employment and policy assistance for employment, and carry out employment assistance activities for fishermen who settled ashore along the lake through vocational guidance, skill training, independent job selection, post assistance and policy support, so as to promote the fishermen who settled ashore along the lake to achieve employment and re-employment as soon as possible. If the urban household registration personnel of the fishermen who have settled ashore are "zero-employment families", they will be included in the local rescue plan; Rural household registration personnel who meet the standards of poor families should be included in the local poverty alleviation training plan.

Third, improve the social security system for fishermen. Adhere to the principles of fairness, justice and territorial management, and gradually improve the social security system for fishermen in the lake area. In accordance with the relevant laws, regulations and policies of urban and rural subsistence allowances, fishermen who meet the conditions of fishing difficulties will be included in the scope of urban and rural subsistence allowances as soon as possible, and the rescue standards will be raised for fishermen with special difficulties in fishing. During the spring fishing ban, fishermen who have enjoyed urban and rural subsistence allowances should raise the minimum living standards; Give temporary life assistance to fishermen who are difficult to catch without urban and rural subsistence allowances. Fishermen who are difficult to catch should be included in the scope of urban and rural medical assistance respectively. Fishermen's rural cooperative medical care shall be handled by the local government in a unified way according to the principle of territorial management. Fishing fishermen will be included in the scope of local key targets for schistosomiasis prevention and control, schistosomiasis patients will be given free schistosomiasis treatment drugs, and advanced schistosomiasis patients who meet the conditions for rescue will be given assistance in accordance with relevant policies. Priority should be given to the establishment of village clinics in areas where fishermen are concentrated to provide basic medical services for fishermen.

Fourth, help solve the education problem of fishermen's children. We should actively create conditions and strive to solve the problem of compulsory education for fishermen's children. Nine-year compulsory education for fishermen's children should be fully included in the funding guarantee system according to the policy; Boarding fishermen's children should all be included in the scope of boarding living allowance and enjoy the subsidy stipulated by the policy.

Fifth, support fishermen to change jobs. Labor and social security and agricultural departments should arrange special training for fishermen to transfer jobs, carry out labor skills training and education for adult women and young fishermen, and improve the quality and transfer ability of fishermen. We should actively create some public welfare jobs for fishermen who have settled ashore. For fishermen who change jobs and start businesses, tax reduction and exemption shall be granted in accordance with the relevant policies for the reemployment of unemployed people. Financial institutions should actively explore the credit support mechanism to support fishermen to change jobs. In particular, rural credit cooperatives should improve the system of micro-credit loans for farmers and joint guarantee loans for farmers, increase loan support for fishermen's job transfer, encourage recreational fishing, offshore fishing, cage culture, aquatic product processing and other business activities, expand the channels for fishermen to start businesses after job transfer, increase income sources and enhance their development capabilities.

Sixth, clean up the fees related to fishing and reduce the burden on fishermen. The provincial finance department shall, jointly with the price department, comprehensively clean up the existing fees for fishermen. We will resolutely prohibit grass-roots departments, towns and enterprises from collecting dock fees, dock fees, sewage charges, reed loss fees, water surface contracting fees, etc. Unauthorized fishing from fishermen. Exempt from fishing vessel inspection fees and fishery resources proliferation protection fees, and exempt from fishermen's fishing license fees. At the same time, actively strive for the national policy of benefiting farmers, and give temporary assistance to some fishermen with special difficulties.

Seventh, strengthen the protection of fishery resources in Dongting Lake. It is necessary to strengthen the construction of fishery administration institutions in Dongting Lake and actively promote the reform of fishery administration system along Dongting Lake. Measures for the protection of fishery resources such as fishing ban in Dongting Lake should be included in the comprehensive management of Dongting Lake basin, and the relationship between flood control, ecology, environmental protection and economic development should be considered as a whole. Strictly implement the fishing license, fishing vessel inspection certificate and fishing vessel registration certificate system, strictly control the fishing intensity, and ensure that no new fishermen are added. It is strictly forbidden to delimit lakes for contracted fishing and fish farming. For those that have been contracted out, the local county government is responsible for organizing the clean-up and revoking them within a time limit. It is forbidden to use illegal nets to combat illegal fishing. Establish and improve the system of artificial proliferation and release of fish resources, improve the system of closed fishing season in Dongting Lake in spring, and protect the ecological environment of fishery waters. Strengthen the basic research on ecological restoration of Dongting Lake waters, and support the construction of fishery germplasm conservation zone. Strengthen the comprehensive management of Dongting Lake and establish a strict declaration system. In addition to flood control projects and river regulation projects, the opinions of provincial fishery administrative departments shall be sought for wading projects that have an impact on the protection of fishery resources on the water surface, beaches and lakes of Dongting Lake. It is necessary to actively promote returning trees to lakes, restore the ecological functions of Dongting Lake as soon as possible, and scientifically protect and rationally utilize Dongting Lake resources. Two, Yueyang Dongting Lake fishermen rescue work progress:

First, leaders attach importance to it and act quickly. At the beginning of last year1February, Comrade Yi Lianhong, secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, personally went to Junshan to investigate the fishermen's rescue work in Dongting Lake area, inspected the newly-built fishermen's new village and visited the fishermen without houses. At this year's Second Session of the Sixth Municipal People's Congress and the Municipal Economic Work Conference, Mayor Huang emphasized the fishermen's rescue work in Dongting Lake area of Yueyang City. Deputy Secretary Ronghua and Vice Mayor Hayes put forward requirements for fishermen's rescue work around the Spring Festival in Dongting Lake area, and Comrade Peng Guofu, deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and secretary of Yueyang county party committee, personally arrested fishermen. Last year, Executive Vice Mayor Zhen Bin attended the Dongting Lake fishermen's special meeting held by the provincial party committee and the provincial government on June 5438+February 10, and conveyed the spirit of the meeting at the mayor's office meeting of the municipal government on the afternoon of June 5438+February 1. Today, he personally presided over a meeting to deploy the city's fishermen's rescue work, and personally served as the leader of the leading group for fishermen's rescue work in Dongting Lake area of Yueyang City. Yueyang County People's Government, Xiangyin County People's Government and Junshan District People's Government held a special meeting on this. Yueyang County and Junshan District have also set up a leading group for fishermen's rescue work, headed by the deputy county magistrate (district).

Second, after careful investigation, we have mastered the basic situation of fishing fishermen. After the meeting of the provincial party committee and government, the Municipal Bureau of Animal Husbandry and Fisheries held a special meeting to conduct a comprehensive investigation on the basic situation of fishermen in the city. According to statistics, there are 63 19 households and 22 169 fishermen in the lake area of the city (including the Yangtze River). Among them, professional fishermen 1.620, 5347 without houses, fishermen without houses 1.302, and fishermen from other provinces1.78. Fishermen from other provinces are mostly family boats or simple sheds built along the lake embankment. There are 3 18 households in other provinces, and 1 169 people. Most of these fishermen are in the predicament of "no fixed place to live, no school to go to, no doctor to treat, no one to rely on and no way to change jobs". Its outstanding difficulties are: poor living conditions, low family income, low degree of social security, difficult training and education, and heavy cost burden.

Third, some substantial progress has been made in solving the difficulties of fishermen. Yueyang county attaches great importance to it. After attending the provincial capital, it did four things well. First, the county finance took out 600,000 yuan, and the county fishery bureau raised 200,000 yuan to choose a site in Zhongzhou, Yueyang County to rebuild and expand 20 new houses, of which 8 were rebuilt, each with an area of 62.5 square meters, and 2 new/kloc-0 sets were built, each with an area of 75 square meters. At the end of last year, 20 fishermen moved into their new houses. Secondly, three training courses were held. The county labor and social security department organizes car driving classes, computer classes and ship driving classes, and * * * trains fishermen 134 people, with free tuition fees. Third, contact the schistosomiasis control hospital to provide free treatment for five patients with advanced schistosomiasis and organize condolences. Fourthly, in view of the problem that some fishermen don't have registered permanent residence, Yueyang County Fisheries Bureau also delivered a report to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The first batch of 22 fishermen in Junshan District moved into the fishermen's new village on 1 month 10, and it is planned to build 5 1 household in Liumenzha in the near future. At present, the preliminary work such as foundation has been completed. Before the Spring Festival in Xiangyin County, condolences were paid to the fishermen in difficulty and relief funds were distributed. Before the Spring Festival, the municipal editorial office took the initiative to investigate the construction of fishery administration team in the city and put forward the preliminary idea of fishery administration system reform. The city's fishermen's rescue work has made a good start.

In June this year, 5438+ 10, the government funded the pilot construction of 20 houses in Zhongzhou Fishing Ground, all of which were free. Two days before the Lunar New Year's Eve, the first batch of 20 fishermen bid farewell to the stormy life of "hanging the bow of the net to bask in the sunset" and moved into their new home on the shore happily. At present, Yueyang county adopts a combination of centralized resettlement and decentralized resettlement, and has set up four resettlement sites, namely Zhongzhou, Chengguan, Lujiao and Matang, to resettle 497 fishermen in 147 households. At the same time, according to the subsidy standard of 20 thousand yuan per household, fishermen with better economic conditions are encouraged to buy commercial houses or second-hand houses and implement decentralized resettlement. 2 19 fishermen who are scattered will hold real estate licenses at the end of August.

The 55-year-old fisherman was elected by universal suffrage, benefiting from the free training of aquaculture technology organized by the county in April this year. He raised 65,438+0,000 green-shell laying hens. According to conservative estimation, his annual income will be around 654.38+10,000 yuan. He said happily, "It's better than being in the lake." Knowing that 10 fishermen who came ashore were interested in raising chickens, he took the initiative to find them and hoped to give them technical and marketing support. He said, "I hope my' he is my brother' can really go ashore as soon as possible." This year, the county has started professional training in computer, electrician, sewing, electric welding, fitter and chef, and strengthened employment recommendation, tracking management and follow-up services. By holding special job fairs, 400 job opportunities were provided for fishermen. Self-employed persons enjoy one-time employment subsidy 1000 yuan according to the policy; Those who meet the guarantee conditions of small loans should be given priority support. For the sake of fishermen, Yueyang county has successively issued policies: qualified fishermen are included in the scope of serious illness relief, and most fishermen participate in rural cooperative medical care; Eligible poor fishermen are included in urban and rural subsistence allowances; 8 13 fishermen in the county were included in the scope of living allowance for the spring ban, and more than 200,000 yuan of living allowance was paid in full and on time; From June 5438+1 October1day, 2009, six fishery-related administrative fees, such as fishery resources protection fee, fishing vessel inspection fee, license fee and fishing license fee, will be cancelled; 185 fishermen's children all enjoy the policy of "two exemptions and one subsidy", and all boarders are included in the scope of living allowance for boarders.

Love is silent, and it is injected into the hearts of fishermen bit by bit.
