China is to launch a national survey on the resources of its territorial islands this year.

今年，中国将启动全国海岛资源综合调查。

The survey will determine unspecified base points and baselines of the country's territorial waters around the islands.

此次调查将填补领海基点及海岛周边海域的基线等数据空白。

According to a national conference on maritime affairs, work will also be undertaken to monitor the geological features of the country's important islands, including those in the South China Sea.

据国家海洋工作会议消息，此次调查将对部分重要海岛进行地形地貌专项调查，这些海岛就包括南海的岛屿。

The survey is set to start in the first half of the year and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2016.

本次海岛调查工作定于今年上半年开始，预计于2016年底全面完成。
