Barque Canada Reef
Barque Canada Reef (Filipino: Bahura ng Mascarado/Magsaysay); Malay: Terumbu Perahu; Thuyền Chài Reef (Vietnamese: Bãi Thuyền Chài); Mandarin Chinese: 柏礁; pinyin: Bǎi jiāo, is a reef on the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. The reef has been occupied by Vietnam since 1988. It is also claimed by China (PRC), Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Taiwan (ROC).[1][2][3]
The government of Vietnam began a major project to develop Barque Canada Reef in 2022.[4] This activity involved dredging and reclaiming land, as well as erecting new structures such as harbors and sea walls.[4]
