Do you think a small "lake" on the left of Rocky island will be filled as well ?
I looked at the old pictures of Yongxing Island. The small "lake" was around since August 2014, i.e. almost a year. So, there is a good chance that it may not be filled in. It could be used as a water reservoir.

Thanks. I tend to believe it would be filled in
I would not doubt it at some point.
I suspect Fiery Cross is going to become a principle base for the PRC in the area.

I concur, it doesn't appear any construction improvements were made to the "lake" to indicate it would be used as a reservoir. Reminds me of Fiery Cross when it also appeared to have a "lake" until they eventually filled it up with land material.
Rocky Island actually has been connected to Woody for years now but it has always been a narrow service link. With the reclamation reaching this state, it's starting to look like one land mass instead of distinctly two. Filling in the "lake" would be the last step. Overall, development progress on Woody appears to be a much slower rate than down south, no doubt because of less confrontation and scrutiny.

The government of China's southernmost Sansha City has hired 12 experts to advise local environment protection and improving city planning, local authorities said Monday.
The environment protection commission consists of academics from China's top environment academies and professors from universities famous for construction and city management. The panel will help deal with issues such as the vulnerable eco-system and bad weather conditions, said Xiao Jie, Sansha mayor and Communist Party of China city chief.
Huang Liangmin, with the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, emphasized the importance of the panel, of which he is a member.
"Sansha administers a unique and precious area of environmental assets formed over thousands of years, and they will be very difficult to restore if damaged," Huang said, adding that he and fellow members will try their best to provide scientific advice for Sansha's development.
Sansha City, on Yongxing, one of the Xisha islands in Hainan Province, was officially established in 2012 to administer the Xisha, Zhongsha and Nansha island groups and their surrounding waters in the South China Sea.
China has taken a variety of measures to enhance local environment, including building sewage plants, launching green projects and cracking down on environmental crimes.
