Retrieval of macroinvertebrate data using the underwater photo transect method with the help of underwater cameras to produce observational data. The results found 10 types of macroinvertebrates with a total of 9,293 individuals. The composition of attached macroinvertebrates is dominated by barnacles by 66% and the density of macroinvertebrates is dominated by barnacles by 4.50 ind / m² out of a total density of 6.88 ind / m².
