Two people were injured but their conditions were not life threatening.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager was wearing a life jacket at the time of her death, a coast guard official told Agence France-Presse. A high-wave advisory was in place for Okinawa at the time of the accident, which occurred around 10 a.m., the official said.<\/p>\n<p>The cause of the accident is under investigation, according to Coast guard officials.<\/p>\n<p>The boats were about half a mile east of Henoko when they capsized. Despite the wave advisory, the water was not very rough and there was no sign the boats collided, officials said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/16\/2d71117b-6bd4-4503-965d-fb748725d489\/thumbnail\/620x391\/e874c111d0dc5e0aa22d9609e8cf8783\/ap26075262258503.jpg#\" alt=\"Japan Boats Capsize \" height=\"391\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/16\/2d71117b-6bd4-4503-965d-fb748725d489\/thumbnail\/620x391\/e874c111d0dc5e0aa22d9609e8cf8783\/ap26075262258503.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/16\/2d71117b-6bd4-4503-965d-fb748725d489\/thumbnail\/1240x782\/d182fdbe9fb037e9606bde909834ce33\/ap26075262258503.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Japanese Coast Guard officers prepare to search for capsized boats, at a port in Henoko, Nago city, Okinawa prefecture, March 16, 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Kyodo News via AP<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Persistent protests and lawsuits between Okinawa and Tokyo have held up the relocation plan of the U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma from a crowded neighborhood on the island for nearly 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>Many local residents have opposed the U.S. military presence for years, following a <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-ambassador-japan-regret-alleged-sex-assaults-military-personnel-okinawa\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">spate of crimes<\/a><\/span> and accidents involving American soldiers and base personnel. <\/p>\n<p>Last July, police said <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/us-ambassador-japan-regret-alleged-sex-assaults-military-personnel-okinawa\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">two U.S. Marines<\/a><\/span> in Okinawa were under investigation for alleged rapes.<\/p>\n<p>Henoko is a popular destination for activists opposing the relocation, but the students were not protesting, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Okinawa is home to about half of the 50,000 American troops stationed in Japan under the bilateral security pact.
