SUMMARY

Coral reefs are a place of biological, chemical and physical cycles globally that have very high levels of productivity. Gelasa Island is a potential small island owned by the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. This island has the potential of fringing reefs that have not been used optimally. This aims of study to analyze the percentage of live coral cover in the coral reef ecosystem on Gelasa Island. The research was conducted in October 2019. The research location was Gelasa Island, Central Bangka Regency. The method used in this research is Line Intercept Transect (LIT).
