No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
No English translation of Mao Yuanyi's 'Wubei Zhi' or the specific section 'Coastal Defense of Liaodong' was found in any of the searched catalogs (Local Catalogs, Open Library, Google Books). While the 'Wubei Zhi' is a significant historical military encyclopedia, its vast scale (240 volumes) means that only small excerpts or specific maps (like the Mao Kun map) have been studied in Western scholarship, and no complete translation of the work or this specific treatise exists.
