## Abstract
Abstract Coral degradation has become an important issue in the Kapoposang Marine Tourism Park, Kapoposang Island, Pangkep Regency, South Sulawesi. This study aimed to monitor changes in live coral cover over the period of 2006-2017. The study integrated two methods: the interpretation of multitemporal satellite images and Rapid Reef Assessment (RRA) surveys. The results revealed changes in each benthic category on Kapoposang Island (i.e. live coral; dead coral; rubble; seagrass/algae and sand). During the period from 2006 to 2017, live coral cover decreased by 13.18% while dead coral and rubble (coral fragments) increase by dead 9.63% and 0.15%, respectively.
