Offshore work under way for relocating U.S. base in Okinawa

A crane (foreground) lifts a large concrete block to place it on the seabed as a preparation to reclaim land off the Henoko coastal area in Nago, Okinawa Prefecture, on the morning of Feb. 7, 2017, with the U.S. Marine Corps' Camp Schwab visible in the background. The Japanese government began offshore work the previous day to build a replacement facility for the Marines' Air Station Futenma, also in Okinawa, amid strong local opposition. The photo was taken from a Kyodo News airplane. (Kyodo) ==Kyodo
