The UNACOM Online and Digital Enabling Library and Index is developed to support the alignment of research, investments, and community initiatives toward contributing to a well-functioning, productive, resilient, sustainable, and inspiring ocean. The goal is to enable the government, partner agencies, and UNESCO to develop more robust Science-Informed Policies and facilitate a stronger Science-Policy Interface through the gathered data, information, and knowledge related to the Ocean Decade in the Philippines.

Particularly, it aims to:
  • Gather and index all publications, reports, policies, laws, legislations, articles, and other documents of the Philippine National Committee on Marine Sciences (NCMS) related to the Ocean Decade.
  • Disseminate and promote these publications, reports, policies, and other documents on the initiatives and actions to address the Ocean Decade challenges.

    Effects of the soft coral Xenia puertogalerae on the recruitment of scleractinian corals
    Atrigenio, M. P.; Aliño, P. M. (Elsevier, 1996-10)
    The effects of Xenia puertogalerae on the recruitment of juvenile corals was studied at two levels, involving early and more advanced settlement stages. Inhibition by X. puertogalerae was evident. Terracotta tiles established near soft coral colonies had fewer recruits than those located away from the soft corals. This inhibitory effect may be selective as acroporids were able to settle and survive in the presence of Xenia. This selectivity in allowing recruitment implies an important role for X. puertogalerae in determining succession and community structure. It may affect community structure by favouring the establishment of tolerant species, but effectively deters settlement of other corals in the area.
