Sampling was done bimonthly during low tide from 5 stations, using 1m×1m quadrate randomly. Then, samples were counted, identified. The results showed that 4 species of Echinodermata from class of Echinodea and 4 orders Clypeasteroidea, Diadematoida, Echinoidea, Phymosomatoida and 4 families as Clypeasteridae, Diadematidae, Echinometridae, Stomopneustiae including: Clypeaster humili, Diadema setosum, Echinometra mathaei, Stomopneustes variolaris.
