Sampling was done during low tides in the months of March and April 2001. A total of seven species in five genera belonging to families <i>Synaptidae, Holothuriidae and Stichopodidae</i> were recorded from the study area. The family Holothuriidae is the most common (4 species) of the three families. <i>Synapta maculata</i> is the most abundant species (33.33%) followed by Holothuria atra (27.27%) and Holothuria scabra (21.21%). Highest species diversity was observed in the coralline area with strong water movement while-densities are highest in areas with seagrass bedsiv, 33 p.Sea cucmberDiversityDendrochirotidaAbioticHolothuria atraLG 993.5 2001 B5 B33Thesissea cucumbersHolothuria atrataxonomyEchinodermataabiotic factorsSDG 14 - Life below waterSDG 13 - Climate action
