In October 26th, two letters were sent to Leting, Hebei. Ministry of Agriculture And the State Oceanic Administration, which contains fishermen's application for administrative reconsideration filed by two ministries and commissions.

According to the administrative reconsideration, the State Oceanic Administration has spilled oil in Penglai 19-3 oil field. Accident In response to the problem, information disclosure is not timely and emergency response is incorrect. Monitor Not deep into such problems. In view of this, the fishermen of Amgen and other fishermen believe that the actions of the Ministry of agriculture and the State Oceanic Administration constitute an administrative omission and require relevant ministries and commissions to make further investigation and demonstration on the loss of fishermen. The payment rules should be published, and the scale of funds should be no less than RMB 3 billion yuan.

Investigation and supervision or ineffective

In the past few months, the fishermen who had been on the coast of Bohai suffered heavy losses due to the ConocoPhillips oil spill, but no progress has been made to compensate for their losses.

Ma Jinlong is a fishery farmer in Ma Tou Ying Town, Leting County, Hebei province. The sea cucumber is cultured in the pond every year. The total area of the sea cucumber is more than 4000 mu.

Since June 2011, a large number of shellfish, sea cucumber, shrimp and fish have been killed along the coast of Leting county. The most serious diseases are from July to August. Among them, the mortality rate of sea cucumber was around 60%, and fishermen suffered hundreds of millions of yuan loss.

It is understood that the Leting County wide range of culturing organisms died, after the oil spill accident occurred in the 19-3 oil field in Penglai, while the Jingtang Port shallow bay oil pollution has been identified from the Penglai 19-3 oilfield.

However, fishermen said, "the departments concerned have not given a clear and responsible statement so far, and farmers have been hit hard by their production and livelihoods."

The administrative reconsideration said, "whether the scope of oil spill affects the waters of Leting and other areas, especially the fishing areas, should be given to farmers and people throughout the country. The first thing to do is the State Oceanic Administration."

In addition, the reconsideration pointed out that "(State Oceanic Administration) ignores the amount of oil spilled to more than 7000 tons, ignores the harmfulness of heavy crude oil and oil dispersants, ignores the application of numerical simulation and biological monitoring of spilled oil diffusion, and is indifferent to the large number of sea cucumbers that pollute indicator organisms. It does not recognize that oil pollution in the coastal areas of Leting has been polluted."

No reply to fishermen's request

The aquatic product bureau of Hebei province held a special meeting in Qinhuangdao in August 19th. "At present, marine pollution has caused the scallop and sea cucumber to be sluggish and even died in our province."

However, although the fishery department in Hebei has initially confirmed the relationship between sea cucumber death and marine pollution, so far, no conclusion has been reached on the conclusion of the Ministry of agriculture on the relationship between the death of sea cucumber and the oil spill accident in Penglai 19-3 oil field. The request made by the applicant for the appraisal and appraisal is not answered and supported.

According to the regulations, the serious fishery waters pollution accidents with a direct economic loss of more than ten million yuan shall be under the jurisdiction of the state fishery administration department or its designated institution.

In addition, it is stipulated that "the protection of fishery ecological environment, the protection of fishermen's legitimate rights and interests, and investigation and treatment of serious fishery pollution accidents are the administrative duties of the Ministry of agriculture according to law."

The legal adviser of these fishermen, Xia Jun, lawyer of Beijing Zhong Zhi law firm, told the daily economic news (micro-blog) reporter that the administrative reconsideration is one of the most effective ways to protect the rights of these fishermen. Five years ago, fishermen had proposed similar administrative reconsideration, and finally had satisfactory results.

The claim amount amounted to 3 billion yuan.

The reconsideration request made by fishermen is that the State Oceanic Administration should organize further investigation and demonstration, seriously analyze the quantity, toxicological characteristics, transport path and diffusion mode of oil spill and oil dispersant in Penglai 19-3 oil field, correctly evaluate the impact and damage of the oil spill accident on the marine environment in Hebei Leting area, and form a written report to the public.

At the same time, the State Oceanic Administration should complete the establishment and injection of compensation fund for oil spill accident in Penglai 19-3 oil field within one month according to the trust law, determine the fund manager, publish the compensation rules, and the scale of the fund is not less than RMB 3 billion yuan.

For the Ministry of agriculture, the reconsideration book pointed out that "the Ministry of agriculture should make a correct conclusion about the cause of the death of the cultured sea cucumber, and inform the applicant in writing." In addition, the Ministry of agriculture should coordinate investigation and appraisal institutions with corresponding qualifications and reasonable charges for fishery pollution accidents, and provide necessary technical support for the applicants to claim for oil spill accidents, and to issue causality identification and pollution loss assessment reports.
