    Identifying the key threats that influence coral reef ecosystems, one needs accurate information about coral health status to provide information for enhancing coral reef management. In this study, the health status of the coral reefs in the Pulau Perhentian Marine Park (PPMP) is characterized by using two ecological components, benthic (BI) and fish (FI) indexes, which were combined to form a two-dimensional Coral Health Index (2D-CHI). The BI was determined based on data collected using the Coral Video Transect (CVT) method, while the BI using the data collected using Underwater Visual Census (UVC).
