A report of the study, where a New approach was applied to mapping out the reef substrate of the four islets of Pulau Payar Marine Park, in Kedah State, Malaysia. A seabed classification system which harnessed the RoxAnn hydroacoustic signal processor, differential GPS and a 200 KHz echosounder was able to translate the echo return into hardness and roughness indices, which then exhibited unique characteristics for each bottom type recorded. The system was able to discriminate six major reef substrates i.e. live coral, dead coral, soft coral, coral rubble, rock and sand.
