Fees collected from those who benefit from fishing are used to restore fisheries resources and for environment protection. For example, Zhejiang province has initiated a campaign to eliminate illegal fishing gears according to the ‘"Regulations on the Prohibition of 13 Unregulated Fishing and the Use of Fishing Gears with Minimum Mesh Size”, as w'ell as fishing vessels that do not possess inspection certificates, registration certificates, or fishing licenses (referred to as the “3 non-compliances”). By the end of 2015, about 16 000 fishing vessels had been banned and about 550 000 fishing gears confiscated throughout the country.
