Chinese food? The type of laboratory: research lab, primarily? if so, is it focused on materials research? chemical research? pharmaceutical research? genetic research? aeronautics research? physics research? medical research? telecommunications research? or development lab? if so, same list, please, replacing "research" with "development"? Was the lab independent? a department of a large corporation? connected to a college or university? government supported? |

So we need to find out more on what is developed in the laboratory? Do the Japanese develop a coral growing particulary fast? Are they working on the conditions oft the coral, i.e. water temperature? oxygen? light? aliments? other? Is the water depth measured from the top coral branches to the free surface? or needs the coral be transformed to sand before a reduction of the water depth can be stated? Is the international maritime authority (or something like that) relevant? |

Tobasi and Rabrab, I think you are getting close enough to give you the SPOILER * * * SPOILER * * * The Japanese are developing coral in marine laboratories in order to build up rocks into islands in order to extend their maritime power and limit Chinese military and exploratory expansion. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article1977593.ece 'A Japanese expedition has started to create two coral islands in a storm-racked corner of the Pacific Ocean that seems destined to become a testing ground for renewed rivalry between Japan and China. Marine biologists from Japan have just completed the first transplants of coral around a pair of islets, 1,060 miles south of Tokyo, to try to save them from waves and typhoons. Eventually, said Kenji Miyagi, of the fisheries agency, they will graft millions of coral fragments on to the reefs to build them up above sea level and enlarge the surface of the islets, which sit just four inches above water at high tide.' |
