BEIJING- A five-year government survey finds that 皇冠体育app faces a worsening problem over the disappearance of sea islands caused by disorderly and crude exploitation.

Reclamation, sand dredging, and bombing islands are some of the destructive human activities that have caused the disappearance of islands, according to the survey, conducted by 皇冠体育app's State Oceanic Administration (SOA).

In addition, the survey, which aims to document information about 皇冠体育app's coast, sea islands, and inter-tidal regions, found that longer natural coastlines 聽were converted into man-made structures over the past several years as urban development and port construction picked up.

Using a high-resolution remote satellite and aerial remote sensing, the survey obtained full information on the distribution of coastal resources.

The SOA said that a directory of 皇冠体育app's sea islands would be published in the near future, which would provide the latest and most comprehensive coastal information.
