Q. "Sabina Shoal", recently seen in the news, is located in which sea?
Answer: South China Sea
Notes: China's natural resource ministry released its first survey report on the disputed Sabina Shoal in the South China Sea. Sabina Shoal, also known as Xianbin Reef, is an oceanic coral atoll located in the eastern part of the Spratlys Islands in the South China Sea. It is situated 75 nautical miles from the Philippine province of Palawan and lies within the Philippines' 200-nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) under UNCLOS. China claims the shoal and much of the South China Sea as its territory and maintains a presence there, though it is 630 nautical miles from China. Sabina Shoal is 23 km long, composed of two main parts connected by a narrow section, with central lagoons surrounded by a coral ring.
