    This photo carried in a report named "A Survey Report on the Coral Reef Ecosystem of Xianbin Jiao" shows reef-building corals in normal growth at No. 12 survey station, about 300 meters southeast of No. 4 cay at Xianbin Jiao of China's Nansha Qundao. The coral reef ecosystem at Xianbin Jiao of China's Nansha Qundao is generally healthy, said a report released on Friday, which rebutted the Philippines' false accusation of coral bleaching and death in the region. The report is compiled by the South China Sea Development Research Institute, the South China Sea Ecological Center and the South China Sea Survey Center, all affiliated to the Ministry of Natural Resources. It is China's first comprehensive review of Xianbin Jiao's ecosystem. Photo by Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
