Marine stations to go on bay-watch duty|Top News|chinadaily.com.cn

Marine stations to go on bay-watch duty|Top News|chinadaily.com.cn: "Three marine monitoring stations will be established in Bohai Bay in a major anti-pollution project following oil spills, an official said.
The stations, the first of which will be built next year, will be sited along coastal areas in Tianjin, said Zhang Qiufeng, director of the Tianjin Marine Environmental Monitoring Center at the State Oceanic Administration.
"The new stations will monitor the bay, collecting data daily on water temperature, pollution and salt content," Zhang said.
The stations will greatly improve forecasts and help coordinate emergency response measures, such as for an oil spill, Zhang said.
Tianjin currently has only one marine environment monitoring station, in Tanggu at the mouth of the Haihe River, but nearby development means that its ability to monitor the bay area has been diminished.
After a recent series of oil spills from offshore drilling platforms, Zhang said measures are urgently needed to protect Bohai Bay."
