Henoko 1 year after the introduction of soil
14 years have passed since the government started land reclamation off the coast of Henoko, Nago City, over the redesign of the US military Futenma base. There is soft ground in the planned landfill area, and the government decides to improve the ground, but Okinawa Prefecture does not accept relocation, and the conflict between both will increase further in the future It becomes.
On December 14, last year, the government started throwing earth and sand into the area surrounded by the revetment off Henoko, Nago City. About this area, the Ministry of Defense has completed about 20% of the sea level by the end of last month, and is planning to land all the land by next summer.
In addition, over 70 hectares of soft ground have been found in the planned landfill area on the northeast side of the area, and the Ministry of Defense will apply for a design change to the prefecture during the current fiscal year in order to improve the ground.
Okinawa Prefecture, on the other hand, has a policy of not accepting design changes in order to cancel the relocation work itself, and the conflict between the two will become even more intense in the future.
On the other hand, near the site in Henoko, Nago City, a civil group that opposes the relocation is scheduled to conduct a large-scale protest on the 14th, which is one year after the start of landfill.
