Abstract

Coral reef ecosystems are essential for coastal protection, biodiversity, and resources for food and medicine. Menjangan Island, located within the West Bali National Park, is a prime site for marine ecotourism and coral reef conservation. This study analyzed the condition and distribution of coral reefs at Post 1, Menjangan Island. Data collection used underwater photography and CPCe software for analysis. The results revealed that live coral cover constituted 40.01%, while non-coral elements, dead coral, and abiotic components accounted for 0.19, 14.51, and 44.34%, respectively. The findings classify the coral reef condition as high, highlighting the need for enhanced regulations and increased awareness among tourists to mitigate damage caused by tourism activities. This study underscores the significance of sustainable practices for coral reef conservation in high-tourism areas.
