Field guide to the common mangroves, seagrasses and algae of the Philippines / Hilconida P. Calumpong, Ernani G. Meñez. - 197 pages : illustrations 19 cm.

This book was prepared to provide a reference to identify the common and interesting marine vegetation that can be encountered during a visit to the seashore, coral reef or a mangrove area. It is hope that this book will increase the awareness on the real value of mangroves, seagrasses, and seaweeds, as a natural resource, a unique habitat and a nursery for juvenile fish and invertebrates. The more people are educated and informed, the more they appreciate the environment that surrounds them which through proper management, protection and conservation can serve their needs now and in the future.
