There are so many island in Indonesia with the diversity of coral reefs, such as Badul Island, part of Seribu Island. The study was conducted at Western part of Badul Island waters to identify biodiversity of coral reefs, located at Ujung Kulon district, West Java. Variable observed were biodiversity and level of mortality related to environmental condition surrounding location of study. Sampling method used was line intercept transect method (LIT method) in 75 m lenghth. There were 3 sampling sites with 25m distance straight to the sea with 3 replication. The results showed that the average of coral cover which was still alive was 72,53% with mortality index was 0,265. Neverthelles, diversity index of coral showed at moderate level, with low level condition of domination index. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
