Intensive field studies were carried out at Pongibalu coral reef in the Mahatma Gandhi Marine National Park in South Andaman from March-September 2009 to investigate scleractinian coral diversity in the 3 predetermined plots on the reef covering a total area of 20,000 m2. A total of 76 species of hard corals were recorded with the live coral cover of < 50 percentage. Among the three plots, plot no. 2 harboured high species diversity with 43.3% live coral cover where existing concrete jetty acts as a substratum for the settlement and growth of the corals.Keywords
