Abstract
Protection and sustainable data collection are very important in order to protect the coral reef ecosystem. This research was conducted to monitor and determine the condition of coral reefs in the eastern part of Gili Gede Island, which is administratively located in Sekotong Sub-District, West Lombok Regency, NTB. The method used is Line Intercept Transect (LIT). Furthermore, the starting point of the transect stretch is recorded using GPS coordinates and the depth gauge is used to estimate the depth of the water. The results showed that the status of coral reefs tended to be badly damaged with the mean value of all stations (21.92%). Fishery activities and pressure from the land are thought to be several factors that tend to affect the poor coastal ecosystem

Pemantauan adalah pengamatan yang dilakukan terhadap suatu sistem sehingga dapat menggambarkan dan mendeteksi perubahan kondisi terhadap sistem tersebut, misalnya ekosistem pesisir (McKenzie dan Campbell, 2002)

Summary
Metode Line Intercept Transect (LIT) (English et al, 1994) dengan menyelam bawah air digunakan dengan membentangkan roll meter pada dasar perairan sepanjang 50 m (5.000 cm) sejajar garis pantai pada kedalaman 5-7 meter. Bawah air digunakan dengan membentangkan roll meter pada dasar perairan sepanjang 50 m (5.000 cm) sejajar garis pantai pada kedalaman 5-7 meter. Selanjutnya, titik awal bentangan transek dicatat koordinatnya menggunakan GPS dan Depth gauge digunakan untuk estimasi kedalaman perairan. Jenis-jenis substrat penyusun dasar perairan yang bersinggungan dengan bentangan transek kemudian diidentifikasi dan dilakukan pencatatan, termasuk panjang singgungannya pada lembar data yang kedap air. Jenis/kategori substrat dasar perairan mengacu pada English et al (1997) (Tabel 2)
