This study aims to identify species, diversity index, abundance index, distribution pattern and correlation of abiotic factors with diversity. Number of Echinoderms in Wuring Waters, Alok Barat District, Sikka Regency. This study used a quantitative method with data collection procedures for observation, transects and documentation. As well as in analyzing data using the Shanon-Wiener formula.
