1. Guarding of Territorial Waters and Surrounding Waters
(1) Guarding of Territorial Waters
(a) The Senkaku Islands
Many fishing boats from Taiwan and China are operating in the waters around the Senkaku Islands. Therefore, we deployed large patrol vessels at all times, and conducted aerial surveillance in these waters.
Many Chinese trawl fishing boats come close to territorial waters from the end of March to the middle of May, accordingly we are making effort to strenghten the surveillance system.
In 1985, we confirmed 106 vessels that intruded into the territorial waters around the Senkaku Islands to operate fisheries or loiter, and make these boats leave from territorial waters. They were all Taiwanese vessels except for one Korean cargo ship.
