Therefore, a study was conducted in 2016 to investigate the community structure of coral reefs in Pulau Seri Buat. The coral survey was conducted using a Point Intercept Transect method at three sites. The result showed that the average live coral cover of Pulau Seri Buat was 52.6%.&amp;nbsp; In total, 30 genera of scleractinian corals from 11 family and 2 scleractinian incertae sedis have been recorded, with Acropora and Porites were the most abundant genera. No recently killed corals was found at any site.&amp;nbsp; The coral diversity was highest at Site 1 (ST1) with Shannon Diversity Index (Hˈ) and Evenness index (HE) was 1.43 and 0.45 respectively. These results suggested that the coral reefs of the island were still in good condition.&amp;nbsp; This study could provide an important assessment of the coral condition of Pulau Seri Buat.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
