This research aims to calculate the percentage of coral cover and determine the condition of coral reefs in the waters of Pandangan Island, Mattiro Ujung Village, Liukang Tupabbiring District, Pangkep Regency. This research is carried out from February to April 2022, using the Underwater Photo Transect (UPT) method which is processed and analyzed with CPCe software . The results obtained were 27 types of coral growth forms, namely Acropora Digitate, Acropora Encrusting, Acropora Submassive, Acropora Tabulate, Acropora Branching, Coral Branching, Coral Encrusting, Coral Heliopora, Coral Massive, Coral Millepora, Coral Mushroom, Coral Submassive, Coral foliose, Dead Coral, Dead Coral With Algae, Sponge, Other, Soft Coral, Halimeda, Turf Algae, Macro Algae, Coralline Algae, Algae Assamblage, Rubble, Sand, Silt, and Rock. The percentage of coral cover from each station, namely at station I was 23.17%, Station II was 25.44%, Station III was 26.56%. with an average coral cover of 25.06% and the condition of coral reefs in the waters of Pulau Views is in the moderate category referring to the Decree of the Minister of the Environment Number 4 of 2001 concerning the standard criteria for coral reef damage.
