The aim of the research was to determine the coral reefs coverage, coral reef and fishes diversity in Penuktukan Villages, Sub district Tejakula of the Buleleng Regency. Result of the research confirms that coral reef coverage in Penuktukan was varied from 53 to 56%, indicates human impact to coral reefs ecosystems. The coverage level can be influenced by tourist activities. Based on the observation it is clear that Coral Foliose types were dominant. Diversity index (H') of coral reefs ranging from 1.754 to 1.814; while the evenness index (E) was ranging from 0.8435 to 0.9468. The observed fish was less than 25 individual. These fishes taxonomically belong to Serranidae, Lutjanidae, Letherinidae, Caesionidae, Scaridae, Haemulidae and Chaetonodae. It was lowest compared to the standard for population in healthy water.
