Extending public services to the sea: A new model of grassroots governance for a floating population

As the aquaculture economy continues to expand in one of China's largest marine farming hubs in southeastern Fujian Province, the waters off Xiapu County's coast have become the site of a unique experiment in grassroots governance. For those who temporarily live and work on fishing rafts, accessing public services once meant a boat ride to shore. With a government service center now established offshore, a unique community has taken root at sea. From mediating disputes between fishermen to assisting with urgent requests and routine administrative matters, help for offshore workers is now only a phone call and a speedboat ride away. #TracingTheVision #FloatingCommunity
