Taklong Island is the main island of the Taklong Island National Marine Reserve located in Nueva Valencia, Guimaras and off southern end of the island of Guimaras, in the West Visayas of the Philippines. It has a marine research lab of the University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV) based in nearby Iloilo Province. The only population on the island is one family who are employed as caretakers on the island. There are also UPV staff, such as security guards, who rotate on and off the island. It was affected by the Guimaras Oil Spill.
