EAST-ASIAN SEAS - HYPOTHETICAL OIL-SPILL TRAJECTORIES

Hypothetical oil spill trajectories are projected for each monsoon from four locations near Japan: the central and southern Sea of Japan; and the northern and southern East China Sea. Actual and possible maritime jurisdictional boundaries are superimposed on these trajectories. Spills at most sites would soon cross international jurisdictional boundaries and eventually reach a sometimes estranged neighbor's coast.
