The government is planning to build a maritime research center to study Dokdo and its surrounding area.
The Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute says it will build its East Sea research center annex in Uljin, North Gyeongsang Province.
20 researchers will be stationed there studying East Sea and Dokdo issues, maritime safety and pollution.
The center is scheduled to open in October and officials are also considering building an ocean platform to collect information on the underwater rock beds near the islets.
Earlier on Wednesday the government also announced it would build a solar plant on Dokdo.
