Abstract The government and fishermen cooperate with each other in the South China Sea (the governmentfishermen cooperation) in order to achieve the common subject of protecting the fishery right. The cooperation between fishermen and the government reflects a kind of administrative cooperation method which will effectively solve the problem of inadequate power of the government as the single subject, unify economic development and political demands in the South China Sea, and demonstrate China’s determination and strength to safeguard fishery rights in the South China Sea. At present, the development of the South China Sea islands, the acceleration of fishery production, the implementation of the fishery system and the prevention of both illegal fishing behaviors and the South China Sea disputes, are the practical reflection of the cooperation between government and fishermen. However, the high cost of fishing in the South China Sea, the unequal status of both sides, the relatively low quality of fishermen, poor law enforcement power of government and limited role of nongovernmental fishery organizations seriously restrict the development of cooperation between government and fishermen. We should solve this problem by fostering the concept of cooperation, improving cooperative ability and level, reducing the cost and risk of cooperative behavior and taking full advantage of fishery cooperative organizations to promote the process of cooperation between government and fishermen.
