Taiwan’s sole outpost in the Spratly Islands is Itu Aba Island. It is the largest natural feature in the Spratlys. Though it has generally focused on keeping the coral reef system surrounding Itu Aba pristine as an example of environmental conservation in the disputed waters, Taiwan did reclaim about eight acres of land to construct a new wharf, which was completed in late 2015.
