阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
On December 26th, 2020, China passed a new law to protect the Yangtze River. It took effect (生效) on March 1st, 2021. It's the first law to protect a waterway in China.
The Yangtze River is about 6,300 kilometres long and it is the longest river in Asia. The Yangtze River provides about one third of the country's freshwater resources (淡水资源), but it has met lots of environmental problems in recent years, such as heavy pollution and overfishing. Especially, the river's Chinese paddlefish (白鲟) has died out. So the Yangtze River is in great need of protection. To solve these problems, China put a 10 - year fishing ban (禁令) at the beginning of 2020 to protect fish resources. According to a report of the government, the fishermen said they would give up fishing along the Yangtze River to protect it.
The new law includes resource protection and green development. The government says the purpose of the new law is to strengthen (加强) environmental protection, use resources well and make the development sustainable (可持续的).
