ABSTRACT
Poncan Godang Island is included in the appropriate category based on the
suitability of land for the Sibolga tourist area, with the presence of tourism
activities that can also affect the amount of biodiversity in it. Considering the
importance of coral reefs for biodiversity and sea urchins which also have a role in
coral reef ecosystems, it is necessary to conduct research on the condition of sea
urchins population and the percentage of coral reefs on Poncan Godang Island.
Sea urchin and coral reef data were collected using the Line Intercept Transect
(LIT) method by monitoring directly on the transect line along 50 meters. The
results obtained indicate that the population of sea urchins in the waters of Poncan
Godang Island, North Sumatra can be described, that sea urchins do not affect the
coral reef ecosystem because at stations 1 and 5 there is no sea urchin and the
percentage of coral cover is classified as bad, but at station 3 there are 32
individuals with coral reef cover conditions, while at stations with The percentage
of good coral cover is that at station 4 there are only 25 individuals, as well as at
station 2 where the percentage of coral cover is higher than station 3 and there are
no sea urchins.
