In creating a culture of peace and addressing sustainable development challenges, UNESCO aims to cultivate the generation and application of scientific knowledge among its Member States. At UNACOM, we facilitate access to UNESCO’s international programmes in the sciences, such as the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC), Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Programme, and International Geoscience and Geoparks Programme (IGGP), among others.

Through this sector, the Commission aims to contribute to the following SDGs: 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities, 13 - Climate Action, 14 - Life Below Water, and 15 - Life On Land. With the overarching vision of the 2023-2028 Philippine Development Plan (PDP), UNACOM targets grassroots-inspired cultural heritage and biodiversity protection and conservation, as well as multi-stakeholder partnerships for SDGs promotion.

  • Reproduction in Eucheuma denticulatum (Burman) Collins and Hervey and Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Doty farmed in Danajon Reef, Philippines
    Azanza-Corrales, Rhodora; Mamauag, Samuel S.; Alfiler, E.; Orolfo, M. J. (Elsevier, 1992-04)
    Occurrence of reproductive structures in seven forms belonging to two species of carrageenophytes, Eucheuma denticulatum and Kappaphycus alvarezii was determined at a farming site at Danajon Reef, Northern Bohol, Philippines during 1987 and 1988. Reproductive plants of these forms were encountered throughout the study period although not all three structures (asexual or tetrasporic form and sexual male and female forms) were represented in each form. For K. alvarezii forms, taking the ‘browns’ (EAB1 and EAB2) and the ‘greens’ (EAG1 and EAG2) collectively, male and female reproductive structures were found throughout the year but no tetrasporic thalli were encountered. Only male and tetrasporic structures were observed for E. denticulatum (EDB and EDG) while the ‘sacul type’ ( EAG3 ) had both structures present throughout the study period. Analysis of variance revealed significant difference (P < 0.05) in the frequencies of reproductive structures of each form.
