In response to worsening pollution in China's Yellow Sea, environmental
group WWF is pushing for the establishment of a network of protected areas
between China and South Korea.
"The Yellow Sea's biodiversity, including its fishery resources, has been
deteriorating for decades due to shortsighted economic activities and
unsustainable uses of the natural resources in the region," said Tobai

"It is time for all stakeholders to join hands in creating a trans-boundary
network of marine protected areas to protect the priority conservation areas
being identified."
