| Macrohabitat distribution, zonation and morphology of coral reefs in the Flores Sea region were investigated. Descriptions of reefs and reef maps are presented, based on large area surveys and aerial photographs. Diving equipment, underwater scooter, depth recorder and different methods of aerial photography were employed to collect data. The aim of the surveys was to acquire synoptic views of the study areas and to attribute to a uniform classification system applicable to reef mapping throughout the archipelago. |
