The University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute (UP-MSI) is set to launch the country’s first coral restoration facility to address increasing threats on coral reefs caused by climate change and human intervention. The project, called “Coral Conservation Capacity Development in the Coral Triangle: A Cryorepository Network for Coral Larvae,” involves research institutions from the Philippines, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand who aims to establish the first regional network of coral larval cryobanks in the Coral Triangle.
