Although many coral transplantation activities have been carried out, insufficient attention has been given to the optimal depth at which transplanted corals are placed. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the growth of transplanted corals at different depths. This study aimed to determine how different depths affect the growth and survival of Acropora sp. The study used an experimental method involving three treatments at different depths: 2, 4, and 6 metres. The research was conducted over a period of three months on the coast of Kaung Island Village in Sumbawa Regency. The results showed that the highest growth and survival rates were found at a depth of 4 metres.
