    • A review of mangrove rehabilitation in the Philippines: successes, failures and future prospects 

      Primavera, Jurgenne; Esteban, J. M. A. (Springer, 2008)
      From half a million hectares at the turn of the century, Philippine mangroves have declined to only 120,000 ha while fish/shrimp culture ponds have increased to 232,000 ha. Mangrove replanting programs have thus been ...

    • Managing excess capacity in small-scale fisheries: Perspectives from stakeholders in three Southeast Asian countries 

      Salayo, Nerissa D.; Garces, Len; Pido, Michael; Viswanathan, Kuperan; Pomeroy, Robert; Ahmed, Mahfuzuddin; Siason, Ida; Seng, Keang; Masae, Awae (Elsevier, 2008)
      The management of fishing capacity--in both inland and marine fisheries--is a major policy concern in most countries in Southeast Asia. Excess capacity leads to a number of negative impacts, such as resource use conflicts, ...

    • Dehalogenase from Methylobacterium sp. HJ1 induced by the herbicide 2, 2-dichloropropionate (Dalapon) 

      Jing, Ng Hong; Taha, Aishah Mohd; Pakingking, Rolando V., Jr.; Wahab, Roswanira A. B.; Huyop, Fahrul (Academic Journals, 2008)
      Heavy industrial activities and agricultural processes require consumption of many halogenated compounds, and release them continuously as pollutants into the environment. These xenobiotics show high toxicity and persistence ...

    • Coastal ecosystem-based management with nonlinear ecological functions and values 

      Barbier, Edward B.; Koch, Evamaria W.; Silliman, Brian R.; Hacker, Sally D.; Wolanski, Eric.; Primavera, Jurgenne; Granek, Elise F.; Polasky, Stephen; Aswani, Shankar; Cramer, Lori A.; Stoms, David M.; Kennedy, Chris J.; Bael, David.; Kappel, Carrie V.; Perillo, G. M. E.; Reed, Denise J. (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2008)
      A common assumption is that ecosystem services respond linearly to changes in habitat size. This assumption leads frequently to an “all or none” choice of either preserving coastal habitats of converting them to human use. ...

    • The loss of species: Mangrove extinction risk and geographic areas of global concern 

      Polidoro, Beth A.; Carpenter, Kent E.; Collins, Lorna; Duke, Norman C.; Ellison, Aaron M.; Ellison, Joanna C.; Farnsworth, Elizabeth J.; Fernando, Edwino S.; Kathiresan, Kandasamy.; Koedam, Nico E.; Livingstone, Suzanne R.; Miyagi, Toyohiko.; Moore, Gregg E.; Nam, Vien Ngoc.; Ong, Jin Eong.; Primavera, Jurgenne; Salmo, Severino G.; Sanciangco, Jonnell C.; Sukardjo, Sukristijono.; Wang, Yamin.; Yong, Jean Wan Hong. (PLoS ONE, 2010)
      Mangrove species are uniquely adapted to tropical and subtropical coasts, and although relatively low in number of species, mangrove forests provide at least US $1.6 billion each year in ecosystem services and support ...

    • Stock enhancement of threatened species in Southeast Asia 

      Okuzawa, Koichi; Maliao, Ronald J.; Quinitio, Emilia T.; Buen-Ursua, Shelah Mae A.; Lebata, Ma. Junemie Hazel L.; Gallardo, Wenresti G.; Garcia, Luis Maria; Primavera, Jurgenne (Taylor & Francis, 2008)
      Natural populations of global inshore fisheries are coming under heavy pressure, primarily due to overexploitation and habitat degradation. Stock enhancement of hatchery-reared seeds is perceived as an alternative strategy ...

    • Using local user perceptions to evaluate outcomes of protected area management in the Sagay Marine Reserve, Philippines 

      Web, Edward L.; Maliao, Ronald J.; Siar, Susana V. (Cambridge University Press, 2004)
      Local user perceptions of resource trajectory and indicators of protected area outcomes can be useful in the assessment of integrated conservation projects, both marine and terrestrial. In-depth stakeholder surveys using ...

    • Approaches to stock enhancement in mangrove-associated crab fisheries 

      Le Vay, Lewis; Lebata, Ma. Junemie Hazel L.; Walton, Mark; Primavera, Jurgenne; Quinitio, Emilia T.; Lavilla, Celia R.; Parado-Estepa, Fe D.; Rodriguez, Eduard; Ut, Vu Ngoc; Nghia, Truong Trong; Sorgeloos, Patrick; Wille, Mathieu (Taylor & Francis, 2008)
      Over the last decade, hatchery production of mud crabs has become technically and economically more feasible, enabling evaluation of the potential effectiveness of hatchery release in fisheries enhancement. The high growth ...

    • Overcoming the impacts of aquaculture on the coastal zone 

      Primavera, J. H. (Elsevier, 2006)
      The wide variety of goods and services provided by the coastal zone (food, medicines, nutrient recycling, control of flooding, typhoon protection) account for its many uses (fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture, human ...
