Place and Duration of Study: Barangay Tanglad, Mamacao, and Basiawan of the Municipality of Sta. Maria, Davao Occidental. April 25-29, 2022. Methodology: A transect-plot method was used in sampling and the samples were handpicked or captured using tongs, scooped using the locally used net, dug from their burrows, and collected from wooden hides. The samples were put in a container with seawater and ice, then cleaned, photographed, and identified. The samples were presented to the fisherfolks and locals to identify local names and their edibility. The pH, temperature, and salinity of the seawater were recorded on site. The decapods’ taxonomic classification was identified. The population density, abundance, dominance, and diversity indices w...

The study employs a quantitative type of research where strategies focus on quantifying the collection and analysis of data. The study was conducted from October 2020 to December 2021 in the three selected coastal Barangays in Malita, Davao Occidental namely Brgy.Culaman, Brgy. New Argao and Brgy. Tingolo. Transect line quadrat method was used to determine the percent cover and shoot density of seagrass. Using this method, the point of seagrass occurrence up to the outer limit where seagrasses disappears was determined. There were three (3) stations and three (3) transect lines were laid for each station with an interval of 50m. Five (5) quadrats were also laid in the seagrasses along the 50 meter transect line positioned perpendicular to the shoreline. The seagrasses were collected in each quadrat and the samples were transport...
