The China Coast Guard (CCG) on Tuesday conducted law enforcement patrols over the territorial waters of China's #HuangyanDao# and its surrounding areas. In a statement, the CCG said it has intensified law enforcement patrols in the territorial waters of Huangyan Dao and its surrounding areas since June, and regulated ships engaged in illegal rights-violation activities in accordance with laws and regulations. "Such patrols are meant to further strengthen the orderly management of relevant waters and resolutely safeguard China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests," it said. #SouthChinaSea#

Chinese researchers have discovered a thriving colony of protected green sea turtles in lagoon seagrass beds on China's Huangyan Dao in the South China Sea, confirming the presence of a mature, interconnected coral reef-seagrass ecosystem that provides high-quality habitats for sea turtles and other marine fauna. The preliminary counts put the local turtle population at over 50 in this island lagoon.

In another reckless expansionist provocation, the Philippine government has delimited the so-called "baselines of the territorial sea" of China's Huangyan Dao, a move that flagrantly violates China's sovereignty and international law and is doomed to fail.
