Crew members at a port in Sanya, South China's Hainan province wait for their departure on a 20-day fishing expedition in waters off the Fiery Cross Reef in the South China Sea, on July 12, 2012. The province organized 30 fishing boats, the largest ever, composed of local fishery enterprises, cooperatives and fishermen, to explore fishery resources near the Xisha, Zhongsha, and Nansha islands in the South China Sea. The exploration prospect is promising as only 80,000 tons of the total allowable catch of 2 million are accomplished every year. [Photo/Asianewsphoto]
