Gather at the riverside in Gulou District, Nanjing at 9:00 a.m. for the opening ceremony, featuring a lecture on the Yangtze finless porpoise. Following this, we will join the Nanjing Jiangjin Aquatic Biology Association to explore the wetland reserve in search of wild finless porpoises and witness the thrilling sight of these majestic creatures. We will also visit the finless porpoise monitoring station to learn about the reserve's smart monitoring system and hear stories about the conservation of finless porpoises.

In the afternoon, we will visit the first professional fish stocking station in Jiangsu Province—the Yangtze Fish Stocking Station—to understand the concept and significance of scientific fish release. Then, we will explore the Yangtze River Aquatic Life Museum, where we can observe live Yangtze fish and models of rare fish specimens. While learning about the conservation of Yangtze aquatic life, scientific fish release, and relevant legal knowledge, we will also participate in a scientific fish release activity, returning rare fish to the Yangtze River and taking practical action to restore the vitality of the river.
