One of the most common way iswithdrawing village and building city community on the spot. Since the relevantprotection system of the sea-lost fishermen has defects, the relevant laws are almostabsent and the thinking of developing but not protecting the sea, the rights andinterests of the sea-lost fishermen are harmed seriously. They had become a newvulnerable groups of society in China. Can the sea-lost fishermen successfully adaptto the unique way of life in city?
