Monad & Kimud Shoals are located southeast of Malapascua Island in the Central Visayan Sea, central Philippines. The Visayan Sea is a relatively shallow area with frequent wind- driven vertical mixing due to its shallow nature, and land-based nutrient run-off which play an important role in supplementing the overall primary production. Monad & Kimud Shoals are shallow seamounts, 7 km apart. The top of the seamounts forms a plateau at 15 to 25 m depth. This area overlaps with the Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion an Ecologically and Biologically Significant Marine Area (EBSA), and two marine protected areas. Within this area there are: threatened species and distinctive attributes (Pelagic Thresher Alopias pelagicus).Citation
