(ECNS) -- The Fujian Coast Guard Bureau will carry out regular patrols in the waters between Xiamen and Kinmen, said Gan Yu, a spokesperson for the bureau on Sunday.

Xiamen is located in South China's Fujian Province and Kinmen is an outlying island located adjacent to Xiamen.

The regular patrol mission is conductive to reinforce fisheries regulation and protect fishermen's lives and property,said Gan.
