Eight people in Huaibei privately fished and capsized, causing three people to drown. What laws and regulations did the case violate?

According to the report of the Emergency Management Bureau of Lieshan District, Huaibei City, Anhui Province, eight citizens brought their own bakelite boats to fish in the waters of Hongzhuang subsidence area. During this period, they accidentally capsized, five people landed on their own and three people were missing. The relevant departments of the Municipal Party Committee and the city have rushed to the scene, and the specific reasons are under further investigation. After receiving the alarm, Lieshan District organized emergency, fire fighting, public security, health and other forces at the first time to fully carry out search and rescue work. After intense search and rescue, all three people who lost contact have been searched and rescued ashore, and there are no vital signs. At present, the specific reasons are under further investigation, and the aftermath is smooth and orderly.

According to reports, the lake area in Hongzhuang subsidence area is relatively large. It looks like hundreds of acres of land. ? The water depth is five or six meters, which belongs to the no-fishing area. ? After we arrived at the scene, the rescue forces designated the rescue area at that time, and we searched and salvaged near the area. ? After nearly three hours of salvage work, the emergency rescue team finally joined other rescue teams to search and rescue all three people who lost contact, but none of them had vital signs, and all three deceased were men. Witnesses said that in the afternoon, many rescuers took a boat to salvage and rescue, and a large number of people on the shore watched; The waters involved are lakes formed by subsidence, with an area of several hundred hectares and a water depth of 5-6 meters. The driveway of Su Ding Road is nearby, and the traffic volume is quite large. The rescue lasted nearly three hours. When the authorities rescued three missing men, they showed no signs of life.

In the 1980s, over-exploitation of coal by enterprises in Hongzhuang Village led to stratum subsidence, which led to the collapse of Hongzhuang Lake. In order to make a living, local farmers raise fish in the collapsed lake and develop agriculture and fisheries. Hongzhuang village later became a provincial-level comprehensive ecological demonstration park and a land reclamation demonstration zone, and the lake collapse is now a fishing ban.

According to the provisions of Article 340th of the Criminal Law, anyone who, in violation of laws and regulations on the protection of aquatic resources, catches aquatic products in prohibited fishing areas or seasons or uses prohibited tools and methods, if the circumstances are serious, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or a fine. Legal basis: Article 38 of the Fisheries Law of People's Republic of China (PRC): Those who use fried fish, poisonous fish, electric fish and other methods to destroy fishery resources, fish in violation of the provisions of the no-fishing area and the no-fishing period, or fish with prohibited fishing gear, fishing methods and nets smaller than the minimum mesh size, or fish with juveniles exceeding the prescribed proportion, the catch and illegal income shall be confiscated and a fine of less than 50,000 yuan shall be imposed; If the circumstances are serious, the fishing gear shall be confiscated and the fishing license shall be revoked; If the circumstances are particularly serious, the fishing boat may be confiscated; If a crime is constituted, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law.

Therefore, it is necessary to remind the general public to raise safety awareness, strengthen self-protection and stay away from dangerous areas when going out to play.
