My latest research is to know the recruitment pattern of planula in the Biawak Island. The dispersion of planula and corals recruitment as an important factor to determine the distribution of the adult corals. The spawning and brooding are the beginning processes of planula dispersion. Dispersion factors are highly influenced by water environment factors. The main factor in planula dispersion is sea currents, wind, tide, and bathymetry. The circulation of sea currents on Biawak Islands waters is influenced by the tidal movement. Based on result and simulation, we showed that planula attached to the area came from the coral reef ecosystem in the northern and eastern region of Biawak Island. So, the presence of coral reef ecosystems in the northern and eastern parts of the island is very important to preserve the coral reef management. From surveys 2011-2015 with visual transect, we found that most of the coral reef around Biawak almost bleaching because of uncommon fishing that affects the corals. Then, We suggest that DNA analysis between Biawak, Gosong, and Candikian coral reef is the other research to make the best conclusion. About the coral spawning, we must require the formation of areas zone the nucleus for ecosystem the coral reefs of the Biawak waters which the research is in the northern part to the east of the Biawak Island.
