Coral transplantation has become a potential tool for the restoration of coral cover in degraded reef habitats. Yet, very few investigations have attempted to determine whether there is an advantage at least two species be used together transplantation. It hypothesized that corals would perform better terms survival and growth when transplanted mixed‐ than single‐species plots. Single‐species plots were compared with combinations several sites, using three separate species, namely, Porites...
Abstract With many coral reef areas being degraded whether by anthropogenic or natural causes, a search is on for resilient species of corals that can restore cover where needed, if reefs are to continue provide adequate ecosystem services. A series experiments were undertaken in two sites with different environmental attributes and substrates lagoonal area the northwestern Philippines test potentials local species, Porites cylindrica , rehabilitation. use asexual fragmentation donor...
Local expressions of climate change are threatening the capacity coastal ecosystems to support goods and services valued by society on a global scale. As articulated in many international national ocean policies, conventions agreements, there is widespread agreement that adaptive, ecosystem-based approaches needed manage risks adapt impacts our environment. Design implementation such requires routine continuous provision data information enable regular assessments states marine estuarine...
Abstract The scleractinian coral Montipora digitata (Acroporidae) is a common reef flat species that thrives under high levels of light and water turbulence, propagates successfully by natural fragmentation. It was used for transplantation experiments in an attempt to restore degraded lagoon environment the northwestern Philippines. Branches about 5 cm from population were transplanted dead outcrops or knolls two locations (Binlab Malilnep-Ac) with different environmental characteristics....

Abstract Sexual and asexual modes of coral propagation are used to produce materials actively restore cover on degraded reefs. It is important evaluate growth, survival cost‐effectiveness prior any large‐scale intervention. This study compared the cost using sexually, with asexually, propagated Acropora granulosa at an in situ nursery and, subsequently, reef patches north‐western Philippines. For sexual propagation, gametes spawned from gravid A. colonies were collected, fertilized reared...
