Recently, the Natural Resources and Planning Bureau of Wenchang City, Hainan Province, issued a table on the completion of the rectification measures to implement the problem of a large number of sea sand resources being stolen.
Up to now, Wenchang City has identified the sources of reclamation materials for four artificial islands.
