Sea-bed boring survey off Henoko resumed

Sea-bed boring survey off Henoko resumed

The Okinawa Defense Bureau resumed a seabed-boring survey off the Henoko district of Nago in Japan's southernmost prefecture of Okinawa on March 12, 2015. The move is to prepare for reclaiming land where Tokyo plans to build a replacement facility for a key U.S. military base elsewhere in Okinawa. Okinawa Gov. Takeshi Onaga said the resumption is "quite regrettable" and that he will do his utmost not to allow the construction of a base there. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
