Alison Green,Leanne Fernandes,Glenn R. Almany,Rene A. Abesamis,Elizabeth Mcleod,Porfirio M. Aliño,Alan T. White,Rod Salm,John Tanzer,Robert L. Pressey +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide integrated guidelines for practitioners who wish to design marine reserves to achieve all three objectives simultaneously, including fisheries management, biodiversity conservation and adaptation to changes in climate and ocean chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the status of Philippine reefs
TL;DR: The status of Philippine reefs has been periodically updated while conditions of the reefs during the early surveys were assessed in terms of live coral cover per se, the "coral mortality index" was applied to the sets of data collected during the past 7 yr which may be a better gauge in determining the health of reefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical aspects of mass spawning in corals. I: Sperm-attractant molecules in the eggs of the scleractinian coral Montipora digitata
John C. Coll,Bruce F. Bowden,George V. Meehan,Gabriele M. König,Anthony R. Carroll,Dianne M. Tapiolas,Porfirio M. Aliño,A. Heaton,R. de Nys,Priscila de Almeida Leone,M. Maida,T. L. Aceret,RH Willis,Russell C. Babcock,Bette L. Willis,Z. Florian,Margaret N. Clayton,R. L. Miller +17 more
TL;DR: This paper provides the first evidence for sperm chemotaxis in the Scleractinia, and preliminary experiments suggest that the natural mixture of Compounds 1, 2 and 3 in the ratio 1:4:9 is more effective in attracting sperm from M. digitata than sperm from other Montipora species.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: More than 1,900 marine protected areas (MPAs) covering 200,881 km2 (1.6% of the exclusive economic zone for the region) have been established within these countries over the last 40 years under legal mandates that range from village level traditional law to national legal frameworks that mandate the protection of large areas as MPAs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in growth and mortality of three coral species (Anthozoa: Scleractinia), including effects of transplantation
TL;DR: Pavona frondlfera had the highest linear growth rates and no mortality, tending towards a K-mode of life history strategy, and showed the best response to transplantation, making it a suitable candidate for large-scale reef restoration.
