Description:

The Philippines is renowned as the global epicenter of marine biodiversity, and it has been the government’s top priority to find solutions to abate impacts of threats related to climate change and increase awareness of the Filipino citizens on the importance of a healthy marine ecosystem. Too little is known about marine cryptic invertebrates or cryptobiota. They are the minute organisms that are usually unnoticed but serve as building blocks of the coral reefs. Marine cryptobiota serve an integral part of our food chain and support our fisheries. However, these organisms are much likely to be affected by climate related disturbances such as anomalous increases in sea surface temperature. We might possibly lose these precious organisms even before we have the chance to know them. This is the reason why we need to further improve our management policies and interventions which is anchored on good science and research.
