	WWF Global 200 Ecoregions -- Nansei Shoto (217)
		The Nansei Shoto subtropical marine ecosystems have unusually high levels of endemism for tropical coral habitat.
		Like a chain of precious jewels, the Nansei Shoto islands sparkle in the Pacific Ocean off the southwestern coast of Japan and contain coral reefs that support fish, birds, and mammals.
		The Nansei Shoto islands are quite isolated, which has made it possible for unique species to evolve.

		Okinawa Jims is one of the islands in the Nansei Shoto island group.
		In the geography books the Nansei Shoto islands were called the Ryukyus or Southwestern Islands and it was taught that they stretch from the bottom of Japan proper in a southwesterly direction to Formosa, covering about 1000 miles of distance on the way.
		In addition to being the biggest and most populous single piece of real estate in the Nansei Shoto, it is also the seat of Japanese Shoto defense headquarters.

		The absence of mention of the Senkaku Islands in the Treaty definition of Nansei Shoto is a geographically correct usage of the term, but it was inconsistent with the Treaty intention that must have been to include the Senkakus.
		From the Treaty language alone, one might infer that the Senkakus are not included in "Nansei Shoto (including the Ryukyu Islands and the Daito Islands)" and that Article 3 of the Peace Treaty does not apply to the Senkakus.
		Suganuma quotes a State Department official as saying: "The term "Nansei Shoto" was understood to mean all islands [south of 29 degrees north latitude] under Japanese administration at the end of the war...

		Edward Ackerman) headed for her second patrol in the vicinity of the Nansei Shoto Island Chain.
		Japanese information concerning anti-submarine attacks gained since the end of the war gives no positive evidence to what happened to KETE; none of the attacks on U.S. submarines occurring within the period from 20 March to 31 March 1945, was made in a position in which KETE was likely to be.
		There were a few mine-lines in the Nansei Shoto Chain, but since KETE was already east of the islands at the time of her last message on 20 March and was heading home, loss through a mine is considered highly improbable.

		We applied inverse techniques to the CTD and ADCP data set obtained along a hydrographic section south off Kyushu and Shikoku, for the purpose of determining the net Kuroshio transport.
		The transport of the Kuroshio main stream flowing in the East China Sea west of the Nansei Shoto Ridge has been consistently estimated at 20-30 sverdrups (Sv), which value is approximately 10-20 Sv smaller than the southward Sverdrup transport in the interior ocean at the same latitude.
		Thus, many studies have predicted a supplemental western boundary current (Kuroshio branch) along the eastern slope of the Nansei Shoto Ridge.
