China Marine Surveillance

China Marine Surveillance (CMS; ) was an unarmed law enforcement agency from 1982 to 2013, under the State Oceanic Administration of the Ministry of Land and Resources of China. It was established as the China Marine Environmental Monitoring and Surveillance Fleet in 1982, renamed the China Marine Surveillance in 1999, and merged into the China Coast Guard in 2013.

History The China Marine Environment Monitoring and Surveillance Fleet () was established in accordance with the Marine Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China, which was adopted and promulgated at the 24th meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress on August 23, 1982.

On January 13, 1999, the China Marine Surveillance was established, under the administration of the State Oceanic Administration, replacing the Chinese Marine Environment Monitoring and Surveillance Fleet.

In March 2013, under an executive order of the State Council of China, China Marine Surveillance was merged into the unified China Coast Guard.- Articles - Nation merging maritime patrol forces

Overview Patrol vessels from China Marine Surveillance were commonly deployed to locations in the South China Sea and East China Sea where China has territorial disputes over islands with its neighbors. The CMS has played a central role in China's in defending Chinese territories in the South China Sea, encountering opposition from Japan, the Philippines and Vietnam in the disputed territories, as China.

Unlike its successor, the China Coast Guard, the CMS was unarmed. The agency has been disbanded in July 2013 and has now been merged, along with three other similar agencies, with the China Coast Guard. Local CMS units (Provincial, Municipal and County level) still exist to this day.

The CMS, charged with the supervisory responsibility for some 3 million square kilometers of Chinese declared territorial waters, employs some 7,000 individuals and operates some 10 aircraft, including at least one Mil Mi-8 helicopter and two Harbin Y-12 utility planes, and 400 seagoing vessels.(Two Harbin Y-12 aircraft seen at Guilin airfield on a number of occasions in August 2013.) It has grown in fleet size and capability. Its fleet was made up of, in part, destroyers and other former Chinese Navy vessels.
