Through this training program, fishermen are equipped with necessary skills in first aid, emergency response, and accident handling at sea; at the same time, fishermen are better informed about the role of the marine economy, the policies of the Party and the State on marine economic development, so that fishermen can comply well with the policies, laws of the Party and the State; and actively participate in the task of protecting national sovereignty at sea.
