Project Sites
The Philippine Component is comprised of 3 general areas which are sites in the municipalities of Mabini & Tingloy in Batangas Province, Busuanga & Coron in Palawan Province, and the Malampaya Sound Estuary in Palawan Province. These sites are part of a Larger Marine Ecosystem (LME).
LMEs are regions of ocean space of 200,000 km² or greater, that encompass coastal areas from river basins and estuaries to the outer margins of a continental shelf or the seaward extent of a predominant coastal current. Defined by ecological criteria, including bathymetry, hydrography, productivity, and trophically-linked populations (Duda and Sherman 2002)
The LME concept for ecosystem-based management approach focus on productivity, fish and fisheries, pollution and ecosystem health, socio-economics, and governance. Selected as a notable scientific breakthrough and commemorated in 2007 during the celebration of 200 years of ocean science by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and its predecessor agencies
