INTRODUCTION

Significance of the Study

            This study is an important endeavour in the restoration of the natural beauty of the marine ecosystem. The success of this study will be a great help in increasing the biodiversity of underwater life, especially in areas where coral diversity is in decline.

            Coral reefs are formed by the calcium carbonates secreted by corals. It is a colony of some animals found in marine waters. It takes thousands of years to form a ridge of coral reef. Many marine lives depend on coral reefs. It serves as home and protection of numerous forms of marine organisms especially fishes. Coral reefs provide a vast array of some valuable services in terms of tourism, fishing, coastal protection, biodiversity and natural heritage.

            The population of corals throughout the world is declining. Many nations rely on this for their livelihood and food. Thus, we are encouraged to transplant coral fragments for coral restoration. This study introduces an environment-friendly method of coral transplantation.

            Moreover, the significant results herein may be used by other researchers in making studies about coral reef transplantation in the future. This may also serve as pilot study for those who intend to conduct further studies regarding coral transplantation in Hinatuan Bay.

            The outcome of this study will not only benefit the marine ecosystem of Hinatuan bay, but it will also promote an awareness regarding to the immediate response of the people in the environmental problems.
