 This video features the exploration of a website and on-screen text that resembles closed captioning. The Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative, AMTI, at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies has a two-fold mission to promote transparency about maritime Asia and to use innovative tools to better explain these complex issues to policymakers and the public. The heart of AMTI is its website, which includes the island tracker. This component of the site tracks land reclamation, artificial island building, and construction projects by all claimants in the South China Sea via satellite imagery. The island tracker collects detailed data on the size of the features in the South China Sea, the amount of land that has been reclaimed and provides before and after imagery as evidence. Early in its life, AMTI had a major impact on the international discussion of China's artificial island building and militarization in the South China Sea, which the initiative carefully tracked using high-resolution satellite imagery. This work reduces chances of irreversible acts and miscalculation in some of the world's most disputed waterways, forces illicit and aggressive actors to operate in full view of the world, and hopefully incentivizes parties to manage their disputes more peacefully and equitably.
