  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

There are more species in southern Mozambique, with 151 species in 49 scleractinian genera, one stolo­ niferous octocoral (Tubipora musica L.), and one hydrocoral (Millepora exaesa [Forskal)). The eastern African coral faunas of Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and South Africa are compared and Southeast Africa dis­ tinguished as a biogeographic subregion, with six endemic species.

  • The Four Provinces of the Ilocano Homeland (Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Landlocked Abra) Stretch from Cape Bojeador
    The Role of Linguistic Capital in Filipino Ethnic Intermarriage and Identity: A Bourdieuan Analysis Antonio I. Tamayao Cagayan State University [email protected] Abstract The Ilokano‘s intermarriage with the Ibanags and Itawes of Cagayan, Philippines raises various practical and theoretical issues concerning Iloko culture and language. How do Ilokanos who married an Ibanag or Itawes fare when they live in communities where they are a minority group? What critical practices do they consciously or unconsciously perform to live and affirm their identity? What is the role of linguistic capital in this process? In what way does linguistic capital influence ethnic intermarriage and identity construction? How would a sociological analysis of Ilokano intermarriage contribute to the existing discourse on Ilokano consciousness, language, identity and culture? The study examines the power culture of the Ilokanos using Pierre Bourdieu‘s analytical framework. It fundamentally explores the habitus and linguistic capital of Ilokanos within the context of their field (i.e., marriage, family and community life) in these cultural communities of Cagayan, Philippines. Also identified were the other factors that preserve Ilokanoness in a diversified community. The paper proffers that Ilokano intermarriage to a diversified community can be viewed as a meaningful representation and analysis that can be tapped to understand the unique and vital aspects of Ilokano culture, language and society. 35 1. Introduction The Philippines is a rich tapestry of ethnic diversity (SIM, 2008). With an archipelago of more than 7,100 islands, its geographical setting has caused considerable number of ethnic and linguistic differences. The Philippines is the 8th most multi-ethnic nation in the world (Kok Keng, 2001).

  • Influence of Coral Symbionts on Feeding Preferences of Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish Acanthaster Planci in the Western Pacific
    MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Vol. 214: 111–119, 2001 Published April 26 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Influence of coral symbionts on feeding preferences of crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci in the western Pacific Morgan S. Pratchett* Department of Marine Biology, James Cook University, Townsville, Queensland 4811, Australia ABSTRACT: The crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (L.) is well adapted to feed on a wide range of different corals, but often exhibits striking preference for a small suite of available prey species. Numerous theories have been forwarded to explain its feeding preferences, but many of these theories have not been tested. In this study, I test whether coral symbionts significantly affect the feeding preferences of crown-of-thorns starfish by removing symbionts from replicate colonies of 6 different coral species. Crown-of-thorns starfish had a clearly defined hierarchy of preference for the 6 different corals when these contained symbionts (Acropora gemmifera > A. nasuta = A. loripes > Seriatopora hystrix > Pocillopora damicornis > Stylophora pistillata). However, when coral sym- bionts were removed, then the starfish readily consumed all 6 corals and did not exhibit any signifi- cant selectivity. Further manipulation of symbiont assemblages showed that the trapeziid crabs (Tetralia and Trapezia species) were the most effective of the various coral symbionts in deterring starfish from feeding on their host colony. Moreover, those corals that were least preferred by crown- of-thorns starfish contained the largest and most powerful species of Trapezia (T. cymodoce), whereas the most preferred corals contained only very small Tetralia spp. crabs. Further experimen- tation is required to assess the generality of these results, but for the 6 coral species tested, it is clear that coral symbionts (and particularly trapeziid crabs) do have a marked influence on the feeding preferences of the crown-of-thorns starfish.

  • Specificity in Communities of Symbiodinium in Corals from Johnston Atoll
    Vol. 386: 83–96, 2009 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published July 2 doi: 10.3354/meps08080 Mar Ecol Prog Ser Specificity in communities of Symbiodinium in corals from Johnston Atoll Michael Stat*, Xavier Pochon, Rebecca O. M. Cowie, Ruth D. Gates Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology, University of Hawaii, 46-007 Lilipuna Rd, Kaneohe, Hawaii 96744, USA ABSTRACT: The diversity of endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodinium) in corals at Johnston Atoll in the central Pacific Ocean was assessed using both the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) region of the nuclear rDNA and chloroplast 23S rDNA. More sequences were recovered from corals using the ITS2 primers than with the chloroplast 23S primers, a finding that reflects both the higher taxonomic resolution and level of intragenomic variation in ITS2 in eukaryotes as compared to chloroplast 23S. Parsimony network analysis, Bray-Curtis coefficient of similarity and 1-way analysis of similarity resolved coral species- and/or genus-specific lineages and/or groupings of Symbio- dinium that were generally congruent between the 2 genetic markers. Comparison of coral–Symbio- dinium assemblages at Johnston Atoll with those in corals sampled on other reefs in the Pacific reveals differences that include novel host–symbiont unions and a Symbiodinium lineage previously reported to be Caribbean-specific in Acropora from Johnston Atoll.

Variations in interspeci®c competition, abundance, and alpha and beta di- versities of corals were studied from 1962 to 2000 at different localities on the reef at Heron Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Reductions in abundance and diversity were caused by direct damage by storms and elimination in competition. Recovery after such reductions was in¯uenced by differences in the size of the species pools of recruits, and in contrasting competitive processes in different environments. In some places, the species pool of coral larval recruits is very low, so species richness (S) and diversity (D) never rise very high. At other sites, this species pool of recruits is larger, and S and D soon rise to high levels. After ®ve different hurricanes destroyed corals at some sites during the 38- year period, recovery times of S and D ranged from 3 to 25 years. One reason for the variety of recovery times is that the physical environment was sometimes so drastically changed during the hurricane that a long period was required to return it to a habitat suitable for corals.
