On July 27 a China Coast Guard (CCG) floatilla of CCG vessels Changshan and Wuhu
departed Qingdao for a 45‑day high‑seas fisheries enforcement patrol in the
North Pacific. Operating under relevant international conventions, the mission
will conduct comprehensive patrols and boarding inspections and will target
illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing to maintain high‑seas
fisheries order and protect fisheries resources.
