Sea bamboo (Isis hippuris) is known to have many benefits, economically sea bamboo can be used as a medicinal ingredient. This research was conducted with the aim of knowing the density of sea bamboo, the condition of coral cover, as well as the relationship between the density of sea bamboo and the condition of coral cover in Kapota Island waters. The sea bamboo data collection method uses the belt transect method with an area of 100 m2 and coral cover data collection uses the line intercept transect method. The transect was installed parallel to the shoreline in the flat area and 2 replicates were carried out at the 3 stations determined in this study. The highest density of sea bamboo based on the station was at station III 0.1 individual/m2 with an average value of 0.07 individual/m2. The condition of live coral cover at the study site was highest at station I with a percentage of 64.66% in the average area. The relationship between the density of sea bamboo and the condition of coral cover shows a close relationship where the low density of sea bamboo is influenced by the condition of the percentage of live coral cover.
