| Date Issued | June 2026 |
| Abstract | Coral reef systems provide beneficial support and services to recreational, commercial, and fishing industries worldwide; however, they suffer from severe threats and pressure including natural and human stressors such as climate change, pollution, sedimentation, unsustainable fishing, etc. Coral reefs have a major contribution to the local coastal economy of Lian, Batangas by supporting its tourism and fisheries. Yet almost 100% of Lian's corals have degraded due to natural and anthropogenic factors that pose a significant threat to its marine environment and coastal communities. Establishing coral conservation and management programs and tourism development for alternative livelihood were recommended to enhance the reef ecosystems of Lian. Lack of education on the importance of coral reefs was recorded low in the area, and the study seeks to spread information and raise awareness through diving tourism where divers will act as drivers towards coral conservation. Through this, diving tourism can strongly promote and enhance effective coral conservation and management by raising awareness about its importance to our lives and the environment, by mitigating and adapting to the natural and anthropogenic impacts and balancing the local community needs of Lian. |
