Summary: On June 22, 2025, the establishment meeting of the Water Ecology Professional Committee of Hubei Provincial Environmental Science Society was held at Hubei University of Technology, and the first academic exchange seminar was also held. Academician Gui Jianfang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ma Fangkai, director of the Water Ecology and Environment Engineering Research Institute of Changjiang Design Group, were invited to give academic reports at the establishment meeting.

On June 22, 2025, the establishment ceremony of the Water Ecology Professional Committee of the Hubei Provincial Environmental Science Society was held at Hubei University of Technology, along with its first academic exchange seminar. Academic reports were given by Chinese Academy of Sciences academician Gui Jianfang and Ma Fangkai, director of the Water Ecology and Environmental Engineering Research Institute of the Changjiang Design Group, at the establishment ceremony.

Professor He Xingyang, member of the Standing Committee and vice president of Hubei University of Technology, attended the ceremony and delivered a welcome address on behalf of the university. Hu Chunhua, secretary-general of the Hubei Provincial Environmental Science Society, read the approval document for the establishment of the Water Ecology Professional Committee on behalf of the Society. Professor Xiao Wensheng, vice chairman of the Hubei Provincial Environmental Science Society and vice president of Hubei Institute of Technology, presided over the establishment ceremony and read the address of Academician Wang Yanxin, chairman of the Hubei Provincial Environmental Science Society. Professor Xiong Wen, vice chairman of the Hubei Provincial Environmental Science Society, head of the preparatory group for the Water Ecology Professional Committee, and professor at Hubei University of Technology, introduced the preparatory work of the committee and announced the list of committee members.

Researcher Hu Zhengyu, former party secretary and vice director of the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, serves as the chairman of the Water Ecology Professional Committee. Hu Zhengyu stated that the Water Ecology Professional Committee will closely focus on the strategic needs of national ecological civilization construction and the Yangtze River protection, combining the actual needs of water ecological protection and restoration in Hubei Province. Through the committee's platform, it will bring together experts and scholars in the field of water ecology throughout the province to jointly explore cutting-edge issues in water ecological protection and restoration. It will actively carry out academic exchanges, collaborative research, technological development, standard formulation, and policy consulting, giving full play to the committee's role as a bridge and link. It will strengthen exchanges and cooperation with relevant government departments, research institutions, universities, and enterprises, jointly promoting technological innovation and practical application in the field of water ecology, and contributing wisdom and strength to the construction of beautiful rivers and lakes.

At the seminar, Academician Gui Jianfang gave an academic report entitled "Ecological Wisdom of the Ten-Year Fishing Ban in the Yangtze River and Sustainable Development of Fisheries." The report summarized the experience of Yangtze River ecological protection from three dimensions: "Water, Aquatic Organisms, and the Strategic Positioning of the Institute of Hydrobiology," "Personal Research Experience and the Ecological and Social Value of High-Quality Development of Fisheries in the New Era," and "The Significance of Yangtze River Protection and Sustainable Development from the Ecological Wisdom of the Ten-Year Fishing Ban in the Yangtze River." It brought new ideas to water ecological protection and sustainable development. He believes that the ten-year fishing ban policy in the Yangtze River reflects a shift in ecological wisdom from "catching" to "raising" and then to "protecting," inheriting traditional Chinese culture. The protection of aquatic biodiversity in the Chishui River is not only about protecting the ecological environment of the Chishui River, but also about protecting the community of life, including mountains, rivers, forests, fields, lakes, and grasslands, surrounding the Chishui River.

Director Ma Fangkai gave an academic report entitled "Research and Practice of Key Technologies for Yangtze River Protection." He introduced the background of Yangtze River protection and reported on the practical research of Yangtze River protection from five aspects: "Protection and Restoration of Yangtze River Coastlines," "Restoration of the Ecological Relationship between Rivers and Lakes," "River Ecological Recovery," "Ecological Dispatching of River Basin Reservoir Groups," and "Urban Water Environment Governance." The report concluded that "Significant progress has been made in the governance and protection of the Yangtze River's ecological environment. In view of the requirements of building a beautiful China in the new era and the work requirements of Yangtze River protection, a large amount of scientific and technological research is still needed in aspects such as ecological governance and protection of Yangtze River coastlines, restoration of the ecological relationship between rivers and lakes, ecological dispatching of river basin reservoir groups, ecological restoration of rivers, lakes, and wetlands, and urban water environment governance. There is an urgent need to widely gather wisdom, strengthen joint research and technological practice, and provide stronger scientific and technological support for the Yangtze River protection work in the new stage."
