CHINA's fishing/militia fleet is still at Rozul (Iroquois) Reef, the same area where corals were found to have been harvested in mid-September by divers from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, according to a US satellite image.
Ray Powell, SeaLight Director, said their imagery partners at Planet Labs provided the 'clear visual evidence' of at least 35 Chinese fishing and maritime militia vessels operating at Rozul Reef which is deep within the Philippines' exclusive economic zone . The image was taken on Sept. 17, 2023.
China's exploitation of the marine resources at Iroquois Reef is therefore not only highly destructive of the marine ecosystem, but also illegal under international law,' said Powell, who is also the Project Lead for Project Myoushu at Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation.
