South Korea to Apply for Extension of Its Continental Shelf... Up to the Okinawa Trough
On July 5, 2012, an official from the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade revealed plans to submit an application to the UN Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf—likely within the month—seeking recognition for the extension of its continental shelf in the East China Sea up to the "Okinawa Trough," a seabed feature near Okinawa.
The South Korean government aims to secure development rights for resources such as oil and natural gas; however, the area overlaps with waters claimed by Japan and China as their own continental shelves, raising the possibility that this could escalate into a diplomatic dispute among Japan, China, and South Korea.
