Bolinao Collections

The Bolinao Marine Laboratory (BML) is the primary research station of the University of the Philippines Marine Science Institute. The reference coral collections currently contains 375 specimens, most of which (232) were identified by the instructors (JEN Veron, CC Wallace and G Hodgson) and participants of the 2nd UNESCO-COMAR/UNEP Coral Taxonomy Research Workshop and Advanced Training Course in 1986.

As the Southeast Asia/ Philippine Center of Excellence (CoE) of the GEF Coral Reef Targeted Research and Capacity Building for Management (GEF CRTR&CBM), the GEF Coral Taxonomy Project makes these specimens accessible to other researchers worldwide by creating this virtual museum.
