Happy Golden Anniversary, UP Marine Science Institute! Half a century of scientific excellence! Join us in reminiscing on MSI's 50-year journey, dedicated to service and empowering the Filipino spirit through marine science and technology. READ: msi.upd.edu.ph/the-marine-sci…

@camillenaredo @DYANCASTILLEJO HISTORY MADE! The Filipinas secured their first-ever victory in the FIFA Women's World Cup.

Doing the fieldwork vs analyzing the data

History in the making. ✨ Welcome to the #FIFAWWC, @PilipinasWNFT! 🇵🇭

NEWS: Over 100 studies from the Marine Science Institute will be featured at the 17th National Symposium on Marine Science, to be held this July 20-22 at Batangas State University - Pablo Borbon Campus. Read more: msi.upd.edu.ph/News/content/M…

JOIN US! Our labmate Brix Nester Q. Villafuerte will be presenting his thesis entitled “Potential changes in the phenology of Sargassum (Fucales, Phaeophyceae) in Bolinao, Pangasinan after decades of environmental change” on June 26, 2023 (Monday) at 9:00 AM PHT. #PHseaweeds

Beyond thankful for these wonderful people.

Coral cover in the reefs of East Asian Seas shows remarkable stability over decades but could mask species and functional changes. Analysis of 24365 surveys over 37 years by @samcyk1 & #GCRMN National Coordinators of the East Asia network @apcrs2023. doi.org/10.1038/s42003…

“The health of our oceans is ultimately linked to our health.” On this #WorldOceansDay, 2018 #ForWomenInScience Fellow @charissaferrera highlights the importance of monitoring the state of oceans and protecting them from pollution and #ClimateChange 👇

Our results have implications for population and demographic models with different coral life histories as larval contribution projections might be under or overestimated depending on the size class and the corresponding fecundity used. (6/6)

Complex nonlinear increases were found between fecundity and colony size for both A. millepora and F. colemani. (5/n)

I always forget about this but here I am, finally sharing that our paper entitled: "Contrasting reproductive strategies between stress‑tolerant and competitive coral taxa" is finally out! 🥳 @jr_guest @VanBRodriguez link.springer.com/article/10.100…

DID YOU KNOW that there is a seaweed found in the Philippines that imitates corals? It’s the red seaweed genus Mimica! 😎 Mimica is a genus described by Filipino phycologist Dr. Wilfred John Santiañez w/ Dr. Michael J. Wynne of the University of Michigan Herbarium. #PHseaweeds

Delighted to share the early development stages of the #softcoral Lobophytum pauciflorum from ex situ #spawning in the Philippines. #Octocoralfriday

Together with our leaders, colleagues, students, collaborators, and other members of the community, the UP Marine Science Institute celebrates 49 years of marine science research today.
