According to Japan's "Asahi Shimbun" reported on August 13, in the design of the Futenma Airport in Japan, it is planned to reclaim the sea and create land in the ancient waters of the border area of Nago City. Recently, the Japanese government has set up buoys at sea to conduct seabed drilling surveys, indicating areas where entry is prohibited. Local nature conservation groups dived into the outer waters of this area on the 12th.
According to reports, the location of the dive is the sea known by local divers as the "Coral Hill". The "Coral Hill of Hama" is located in the central part of Oura Bay, about 2 kilometers northeast of Benno-Furusaki. Corals stretch here, and you can see a variety of fish swimming around.
Mariko Abe, director of the Japan Nature Conservation Association, who is familiar with the ecosystem of Oura Bay, said: "If the base is built, the currents in the bay may change. The impact of the sandy soil used for land reclamation on the sea is also worrying, and may have a large impact on the corals and fish that grow in the surrounding waters. ”
