Scleractinian corals were recorded from the fringing reefs offshore from the Daintree National Park during a three day study in November 1985. The field study was supplemented by examination of coral specimens collected by other researchers from these reefs. The checklist produced also includes an assessment of the abundance of each coral species. The aim of this study was to produce an inventory of the scleractinian corals on reefs in the Daintree region of north Queensland.
