Abstract This province – wide coral reef rehabilitation and reef fish recovery initiative in Siquijor Island is part of CCEF’s larger research on coral reef resilience and recovery in partnership with the Province through the Provincial Agriculturist office and the Provincial Monitoring Team (PROMOTE). Our work started in early 2013, right after typhoon Bopha (Pablo) severely damaged the northern and eastern coast of the island. This initiative is also in line with the Coastal Resource Management (CRM) framework of the local government units (LGUs) of Siquijor Province. One major objective of our research is to develop protocols and tools that are community- and LGU – friendly to contribute to climate change adaptation and enhance resilience capacities of the aforementioned bodies from typhoon.
