Abstract
Gliders carried out four surveys in three regions of the archipelago. During June~July 2007, one glider surveyed the Bohol Sea and the other the northeastern Sulu Sea. The Bohol Sea survey extended from the Surigao Strait opening at the northeastern end of' the sea to the Dipolog Strait at the western end. The Bohol glider was directed along and across the model~predicted transport path between the Pacific and the Sulu Sea. The glider also crossed the northern boundaries of the sea on either side of 'Bohol Island. The glider in the Sulu Sea followed lracks across the southern opening of the system of' deeper straits connecting the SCS and Sulu Sea. The Sulu glider also completed a track across the Panay Gulf' mouth -between Panay and Negros Islands.
