SUMMARY

BACKGROUND AND PROBLEM

The degradation of coral reefs in the Philippines has posed a risk to

biodiversity, food security, and livelihood in the country. Marine Protected Areas

(MPAs) were established across the country in able to arrest the degradation.

A network of the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) finding show that

between 2009 and 2018 there was a progressive loss of 14% of the coral from the

world’s coral reefs.

BENEFICIARIES

The researchers believe that this proposal is of great significance to the

various institutions and groups of individuals who are facing an issue in terms of

artificial coral not being practical. Moreover, the researchers seek to know how this

proposal will be beneficial to the following:

Fishermen there will be an increased population of fish that will lead to the

increase of their income.

Local community of Tayabas this proposal is of great significance to this

sector as it can give them ideas about timely and relevant issues such as

addressing the decreasing rate of coral reefs.

PROPOSED SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

I. Description

The process of genetic modification

 Identify the genes interest

 Isolation of the gene of interest

 Amplifying the gene to produce more copies

  Associating the gene with an appropriate promoter and poly. A sequence and

insertion into plasmids.
