China will establish two drone bases in northeast Liaoning Province for real time surveillance on coastal waters, local authorities have said. One of the two bases will be built on a land reclamation lot in the coastal city of Yingkou to cover the Bohai Sea area. The other will be constructed in Dalian city to cover parts of the Yellow Sea within the province’s jurisdiction, according to the oceanic and fishing department of the provincial government. The drones will be used to identify illegal land reclamation activities and sand dredging, and monitor marine environments along the coast and on islets.
