The three-and-a-half-month temporary South China Sea summer fishing ban concluded on August 16. Fishing boats across the ports in the Chinese mainland's southern Hainan Province were ready to set sail.
In Sansha, the end of the ban sparked lively scenes at the docks as crews prepared nets, fueled engines and set courses for the open sea. Fishermen marked the moment with upbeat chatter and a shared hope for bountiful catches.
As the boats head out from Hainan ports, Sansha's fishing community looks forward to the days ahead, eager to see what the season holds in the rich waters of the South China Sea.
