  1. Site establishment and baseline activities report of RARE sites April – May 2011

  2. AGCA MPA Tinambac, Camarines Sur • Gradual reef slope • Area exposed to high energy = low-profile lifeforms of corals • Acroporacorals mostly branching and tabular • Dead coral with algae, high algal cover as results of bleaching events • Dominant corals • Porites • Favids • Galaxea

  3. AGCA MPA Tinambac, Camarines Sur • Fish abundance low • Large schools of roving parrotfishes and juvenile and adult fusiliers noted • Other observed fish* • Angelfish • Groupers • Surgeonfish *in their optimum sizes

  4. AGCA MPA Tinambac, Camarines Sur

  5. Arbor MPA Boljoon, Cebu • Narrow strip of reef with fair coral cover • Dominant benthos: • Massive, branching Porites • Encrusting and Foliose Montipora and Pavona

  6. Arbor MPA Boljoon, Cebu • Fish abundance high • Dominant fish • Damselfish • Fairy basslets • Other present fish • Parrotfish • Surgeonfish • Fusiliers

  7. Arbor MPA Boljoon, Cebu

  16. Mabaw MPA Taloto, Tagbilaran, Bohol • On a Shaol , abrupt slope • Excellent coral cover and diversity • Branching Poritesabundant on slope • Montipora dominant in shallow area • Fish diversity and biomass high

  17. Mabaw MPA Taloto, Tagbilaran, Bohol

  18. Punta MPA San Francisco, Southern Leyte • Partially covered by sand and silt due to landslide • Branching Acropora, foliose Turbinaria, Pavona protruding from sediments • Aggregations of mushroom corals • Remarkably high cover of foliose Montipora outside MPA
