This page features a series of lists of maritime features in the Spratly Islands: *Features by area *Features by major reef / bank / etc. *Features by name *Features by occupier and/or claimant ==Features by area== Of the hundreds of maritime features in the Spratly Islands, relatively few have land permanently above sea-level that is larger than protruding rocks. There are only 13 islands and cays with a natural area above sea-level larger than one hectare.〔At one time Lankiam Cay (Panata) had an area of more than 5 hectares, but a severe typhoon and accompanying strong waves washed away the sand on the cay leaving behind the underlying coral base with an area of less than half a hectare.〕 With the exception of Swallow Reef, prior to 2014 there has been no large-scale land reclamation beyond building breakwaters and piers, and extending runways. This changed dramatically in 2014 with the PRC embarking on large-scale reclamations of the lagoons of Johnson South Reef (~10ha) and Fiery Cross Reef (~230ha), and other reclamations of unknown extent at the Gaven Reefs and Cuarteron Reef.〔 Reports of the extent of land reclaimed on Swallow Reef vary. The PRC land reclamations have continued in 2015, adding Subi Reef, Hughes Reef and Mischief Reef.〔 These are the 15 largest "natural" features, (i.e. not including reclaimed land),〔 plus the features with significant amounts of reclaimed land: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of maritime features in the Spratly Islands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
