Abstract:
This article describes the data on coral reef percent cover small islands (Bunaken Island; Siladen Island; Manado Tua Island; Mantehage Island; Nain Island) in Bunaken National Park, Noth Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The data of coral percent cover from 20 stations (1000 quadrans), surveys were done by scuba diving along 50 m belt transects established on upper reef slope, mostly with depths ranging from 5 to 10 m. The method Used Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) and Coral Point Count with excel (CPCe) analysis. Percentage of coral cover between 6,27% and 69,20%. Manado Tua Island has a percentage of coral cover 42,02%, Bunaken Island 39,63%, Mantehage Island 29,10%, Siladen Island 27,87%, and Nain Island 25,97%. The average of live coral cover on the five islands is 32.92% with moderate category [2].
