00. Ocean Decade - Philippines

Permanent URI for this communityhttps://repository.unesco.gov.ph/handle/123456789/7

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.

    Benthic energy dynamics in a southern Baltic ecosystem
    Yap, H. T. (Springer, 1991-10)
    Benthic components and metabolic activity at two stations in the Darss-Zingst estuary (eastern German Baltic coast) were investigated over a seasonal cycle from April 1985 to August 1986. As has been established for temperate and boreal ecosystems, peaks in the biomass of benthic microphytes occurred in the spring and late autumn to winter, presumably caused by settling phytoplankton blooms. Metabolic activity of the benthos did not increase with rising ambient temperatures. Rather, the highest values of oxygen consumption were recorded during the cooler months (spring and winter), when increased numbers of organisms were also observed. This may be a response to a greater food supply to the sediment in the form of settling phytoplankton during these times of year.
