A review of mangrove rehabilitation in the Philippines: successes, failures and future prospects
Primavera, Jurgenne ; (Springer, 2008)
; (Springer, 2008)
From half a million hectares at the turn of the century, Philippine mangroves have declined to only 120,000 ha while fish/shrimp culture ponds have increased to 232,000 ha. Mangrove replanting programs have thus been ...
Distribution pattern of shrimps and fish among Avicennia and Rhizophora microhabitats in the Pagbilao mangroves, Philippines
; ; ; Primavera, Jurgenne (Elsevier, 1999)
