TOKYO Cheap Houston Astros Jersey , July 24 (Xinhua) -- Government of Japan's Okinawa prefecture on Monday filed a fresh lawsuit against the central government on the renewal of a permit to allow construction work for the relocation of a controversial U.S. Marine base.


The latest lawsuit is aimed at halting the central government's ongoing plans to relocate the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Ginowan to the less populated Henoko coastal region of Nago, which is also on Okinawa island.


The lawsuit argues that the central government has not secured permission from Okinawa Governor Takeshi Onaga for construction work that will damage rocks on the sea bed where reclamation work has been going on.


The prefectural government has also filed an injunction prohibiting the construction work Cheap Kansas City Royals Jersey , ahead of the court's ruling on the issue.


The Okinawa government also believes that fishing rights have been granted in the Henoko region, meaning the central government's construction work is infringing on these too.


The prefectural government has requested the central government to renew its permit to work in the area Cheap Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim Jers , which expired in March, although the central government maintains that it does not need permission as legal matters concerning fishing rights have already been dealt with.


Authorities in Okinawa opposed to the construction work fear that sediment to be poured inside the seawalls being constructed for the replacement facility in Oura Bay will be extremely detrimental to the environment.


They have stated that the reclamation work runs contrary to the National Biodiversity Strategy of Japan Cheap Miami Marlins Jersey , as it is damaging an ecosystem unique to Okinawa.


Environmentalists have also voiced concerns about the materials used for the reclamation work introducing invasive species to the region.


Experts, having surveyed the coral reef at the bottom of the ocean near the tip of one of the seawalls Cheap Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey , have also concluded that the Porities lutea coral, which is part of the reef and just 20 meters away from the tip of the seawall Cheap Milwaukee Brewers Jersey , has a high likelihood of being destroyed by rocks thrown into the ocean due to the construction.


The waters of Oura Bay are also the last home of the endangered Japanese dugong, which is a large marine mammal and cousin of the manatee. Environmentalists are certain of the species' extinction if the central government's construction continues.


The return of the land to Okinawa used for the Futenma base was agreed in 1996 between the United States and Japan and in 2006 both sides inked a deal Cheap Minnesota Twins Jersey , part of which included transferring the airfield to the Henoko region on the island.


Amid staunch opposition from local officials and residents of Okinawa who bear the burden of hosting the majority of U.S. military facilities in Japan, and as anti-U.S. sentiment rises on the tiny island in the wake of a number of heinous crimes committed by U.S. base-linked personnel Cheap New York Mets Jersey , the central government maintains that shifting the base to Henoko remains "the only solution."
