Abstract
Harbour and breakwaters of Hassyan power plant are located within Jebel Ali marine ecological reserve in Dubai, UAE. Project sea area has a good diversity and healthy environmental condition. Especially lots of live corals were found in this area. The distribution of epibenthic corals should be investigated in order to meet the requirement of environmental protection. The density, species and distribution were quantitatively estimated by the me thod of underwater video and remote sensing. The investigation showed that eighteen live coral species were recorded from six stations. Two of stations were moderately dense and the richest coral communities, while the other four were sparse communities. The highest cover rate was 37.89%. The investigation results provided basis datum for corals protection and translocation.
