Economy Spratly Islands

Economy - overview:

Economic activity is limited to commercial fishing. The proximity

to nearby oil- and gas-producing sedimentary basins suggests the

potential for oil and gas deposits, but the region is largely

unexplored, and there are no reliable estimates of potential

reserves; commercial exploitation has yet to be developed.
