At least 236 Chinese vessels in the South China Sea have reportedly dumped raw sewage into the ocean, causing damage to the coral reefs and the marine eco-system.
The report, released on July 12, was based on findings from Simularity, a U.S. satellite imagery analysis firm.
In an interview with
ABS-CBN News, CEO Liz Derr said while her firm can t definitively say that the vessels are Chinese, they appear to be the same ships that have been there since March and they look very similar , leading her to conclude that the ships are most likely from China.
