S iquijor Province has been chosen as one of the focus regeneration areas for the RRREEFS (Rethinking, Rebuilding, Regenerating Coral Reefs) marine protected area rehabilitation program. The program aims to revive 1% of coastal coral reefs on Planet Earth by 2033 using 3D-printed, modular reef systems. In collaboration with local stakeholders in Siquijor, the Coastal Conservation and Education Foundation (CCEF) assisted Ms. Hanna Kuhfuss, the Head of Field Operations and Scientific Partnership at RRREEFS, in conducting a scoping assessment of the Marine Protected Area in Siquijor for reef rehabilitation. The assessment involved evaluating the current condition of the reefs, identifying the causes of degradation, and determining the feasibility of implementing rehabilitation measures. The scoping assessment was successfully conducted in three Marine Protected Areas: Lalag Bato Marine Sanctuary in Lazi, Bogo Marine Sanctuary in Maria, and Tulapos MPA in Enrique Villanueva. The assessment utilized the pointintercept method to assess the reef habitat substrate. In Lalag Bato Marine Sanctuary, the live hard coral cover was estimated at 11.06%, with soft coral accounting for 25.37% cover. The presence of degradation was also documented. RRREEFS’ modular reef system, which is 3D-printed from non-toxic natural clay, can be customized in terms of size and shape to suit specific geographic and water flow conditions. This customization allows for effective redirection of currents while providing a suitable habitat for coral recruitment and settling spaces for other marine organisms. The modular system offers a balanced approach to reef rehabilitation by meeting breakwater requirements without compromising essential habitat and substrate functions. Siquijor Marine R RRREEFS chose to work in the Philippines due to the country’s commitment to preserving fragile ecosystems and its rich marine and terrestrial biodiversity. By focusing its efforts in the Philippines, RRREEFS aims to contribute to ongoing conservation efforts and help protect the country’s valuable natural resources. CCEF is committed to supporting this collaboration as they recognize the importance of ecosystem-level management and the necessity of local-level knowledge from coastal communities. This knowledge is crucial for effectively enhancing and conserving coastal conservation in Lalag Bato Marine Sanctuary, Lazi. The partnership between CCEF and RRREEFS aims to ensure the successful preservation and enhancement of this marine sanctuary, benefiting both the local community and the overall ecosystem. On July 3, <strong>2023</strong>, Ms. Hanna delivered a presentation on RRREEFS projects in the Visayas Region to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Regional Director and staff, as well as business owners and the 62
