1 TEARDROP A RAPID REEF MOSAICING TOOL FOR COASTAL COMMUNITIES 7 Sept 2012 Roel John Judilla 1, Eusebio Capili Jr. 1, Jaylord Jauod 1, Maricor Soriano 2 1 School of Mechanical Enginering, Mapua Institute of Technology 2 National Inst. Of Physics, University of the Philippines

2 ARRAS AUTOMATED RAPID REEF ASSESSMENT SYSTEM 2

3 AUTOMATED RAPID REEF ASSESSMENT SYSTEM - ARRAS Funded by Department of Science and Technology Duration 3 years (1 June May 2013) Program Partners: University of the Philippines Mapua Institute of Technology De La Salle University 3

4 Program Objectives Year 1 Develop Rapid Reef Assessment Tools Year 2 Deploy Tools to Stakeholders Year 3 Apply ALL ARRAS Tools on a Location of National Significance Verde Island Passage 4

5 Issues with Reef Assessment Provincial fieldwork is costly. Repeated surveys are necessary Rapid assessment is needed in case of catastrophies Ship grounding on reef Oil spills, etc.

6 Our Solution: Citizen Science teach coastal communities/stakeholders how to use ARRAS tools. Let them do the local survey. Tools must be low-cost Can be mass produced Easy to use Even non-scientists will not be afraid to use them Easy to construct End users can make their own or repair their existing kit.
