Coral reef assessments were conducted in selected sites in three provinces of the Verde Island Passage (VIP) (Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque, and Quezon) to obtain baseline and continued measurements of coral abundance and biodiversity. A total of six sites were surveyed to measure average hard coral cover (HCC) relative to other benthic components. Generic richness and...
Brown seaweed (Sargassum sp.) is one of the most abundant biomass wastes widely available along the Philippine coast and has potential for alginate production. This alginate is a natural polysaccharide, having potential properties in adsorbing contaminants, such as heavy trace metals, through to its properties. In this study, pure sodium alginate (Na-ALG) was extracted and...
Papaya, Nasugbu is situated in Batangas and is located at the entrance of the Verde Island Passage (VIP), a marine corridor with high biodiversity. This study aimed to obtain baseline information on substrate cover and biodiversity of three Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Papaya, Nasugbu and store the information in a database and publicly accessible...
Underwater monitoring technology plays a crucial role in studying aquatic life, particularly in mangrove ecosystems, which are vital to marine biodiversity. Traditional survey techniques for assessing fish diversity and habitat health in rural Philippine mangrove ecosystem rely on manual methods such as traps, netting, hook-and-line fishing, hand-catching, and visual observations. These methods also involve measuring...
DNN (deep neural network) and CNN (convolution neural network) have been widely used in real-time artificial intelligent (AI) applications, particularly image or video recognitions, because they have been proved physically in many occasions. However, most prior AI hardware works either suffered from high on-silicon area cost or low usage thereof. This investigation presents a power...
