[Photo/Agencies] China will need to strengthen monitoring of the ocean if Japan continues with its plan to dump wastewater with nuclear contamination into the Pacific Ocean despite widespread concerns and opposition at home and abroad, experts said. Zhao Chengkun, executive deputy director of the expert committee of the China Nuclear Energy Association, said that at the moment, it is difficult to predict exactly how much impact Japan's plan to release contaminated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant will bring to fisheries or the entire marine ecology, given the lack of full access to wastewater-related data.
