Spratly education: A new idea...anyone wanting to contribute writes down one fact about the Spratly Islands that nobody else has mentioned before.....
e.g.The Spratly Islands are a disputed group of approximately 100 reefs and islets in the South China Sea.

Part of the South China Sea Islands, the Spratly Islands are surrounded by rich fishing grounds and gas and oil deposits, whose true extent is unknown and disputed.

The 100-odd land forms that make up the Spratly Islands add up to less than 5 km^2 area (all islands combined, regardless the of International claim upon them)
