Shanghai - A 40-million-yuan ($6.1 million) project is under way to set up a marine observatory network under the East China Sea within the next five years, according to a top marine geologist.

The project will improve the monitoring of changes in the sea and the recording of data concerning earthquakes and tsunami, said Wang Pinxian, a member of the Chinese Academy of Science and professor with the marine geology and geophysics department at Tongji University.

The project is based on current experience from an observatory site near Xiaoqushan Island in Zhejiang province, which is the first ocean observation site in China.
