Philippine Coast Guard says it has successfully removed barrier at disputed reef | AFP

The Philippine Coast Guard says it has removed a floating barrier at a disputed reef that was allegedly deployed to stop Filipinos accessing the traditional fishing ground. The 300-metre long floating barrier was found across the entrance of the Scarborough Shoal mid-September. The shoal in the South China Sea has long been a source of tension between the countries. China seized the ring of reefs from the Philippines in 2012 and has since deployed patrol boats.
