Daily fishery patrols to begin in South China Sea
China will conduct daily fishery administrative patrols in the South China Sea in 2014 to better safeguard the legitimate interests of domestic fishermen, a fishery official said Thursday.
Wu Zhuang, chief of the South China Sea Fishery Bureau under the Ministry of Agriculture, said the time frame for the patrols is based on his bureau's growing law enforcement capacity.
"A noticeable improvement will be seen in our enforcement capacity in the next two years, as the bureau has entered a period of rapid development," he said.
