The Taal Volcanic Eruption in January 2020 posed significant social and economic challenges to the coastal municipality of Lemery, Batangas. This disaster emphasizes the need for targeted management strategies, particularly in coastal communities vulnerable to volcanic eruptions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive baseline for improving fut...
Our study simulated a size-structured phytoplankton community in the Philippine Sea to determine the factors that regulate the vertical phytoplankton distribution using a one-dimensional coupled physical-biological individual-based model in the Virtual Ecosystem Workbench (VEW) software. Three phytoplankton groups (pico-, nano- and microphytoplankt...
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are strategies that utilize nature to address various environmental and societal challenges while simultaneously benefiting human-ecological systems. They are cost-effective and scalable approaches that have the potential to address climate change, support biodiversity, and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Develo...
Philippines is famous for its rich natural marine resources and was among the first countries in the region to create marine protected areas (MPAs) that addressed the need to conserve and protect these resources. The National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Act implemented in 1992, along with its updated 2018 version—Enhanced NIPAS Act-,...
The subsurface chlorophyll-a maximum (SCM) is a phenomenon that contributes significantly to the total primary production of the open ocean but it is not observable from remote sensing, thus primary production based on satellite information is highly underestimated. In a highly dynamic region such as the Philippine Sea, turbulence caused by tropica...
The vertical distribution of phytoplankton in the open ocean shows an increase in biomass at a depth referred to as the Subsurface Chlorophyll Maximum (SCM) that contributes significantly to the primary production of the water column. Hence, it is important to understand the dynamics that lead its formation and maintenance. This study examines the...
The per capita fish consumption in the Philippines has not significantly changed through the years (1987–2003), but the increase in human population has created an ever-increasing demand for food fish. The Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources has responded to the food fish shortage by promoting mariculture. We support this policy wi...
Ocean color satellites, such as SeaWIFs, provide detailed distributions of surface chlorophyll a. Since chlorophyll a is the primary pigment of phytoplankton, it is also used to estimate phytoplankton biomass and even primary productivity. Typical profiles of chlorophyll a around the Philippines show that the bulk of the pigments are found at depth...
