This study used a line transect method that stretched 50 meters in 3 stations at a depth of 3-5 meters. The results of this study indicated that there are 53 types of coral reefs. Overall diversity index (3.27). The water quality measurements yielded the following result: temperature 28-30oC, pH 7- 8- 2, salinity 30-32%, brightness ranging from 2.5-3 meters, current 3-8 m/sec, dissolved oxygen levels of 3-5 mg/l. The study’s conclusion is that there are 53 types of coral reefs. The insrom coast’s diversity index is 3.27 which shows high category according to Shannon-Wienner.
