Establishing Larval Exchange and Reef Connectivity Using Larval Dispersal Models

This study will provide initial estimates of larval neighborhood scales for selected areas around the Philippines based on local hydrodynamics. The objective of this study is to characterize the oceanographic features in four different areas in the Philippines and to gain some insights as to how these processes might affect larval dispersal patterns and distances. The four sites are Baler Bay in Aurora, the Camotes Sea, Illana Bay and Sibugay Bay, both in the northern part of Moro Gulf. The study areas include Baler Bay in Aurora, Camotes Sea, Sibugay Bay and Illana Bay in the Moro Gulf .
