In the current study, we developed an underwater monitoring sensor network system to support the observational activities to maintain the coral reef environment. This paper describes the measurement method to detect the growth area of the coral for a quantitative evaluation of the coral condition change using fluorescence coral image by capturing the underwater monitoring sensor network.
