On 8 May 2018 was inaugurated the new South China Sea Tsunami Advisory Centre, established in Beijing under the aegis of UNESCO's Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC). It will rely on a seismic monitoring network based on seismic stations and tide gauges that will relay information in real time.
The South China Sea region and its neighbouring basins, including the Sulu and Sulawesi Seas, is one of the most vulnerable areas to earthquakes and tsunamis anywhere due to seismic activity in the Manila, Cotabato and Negros, and Sulawesi trenches.
