Abstract
The islands of the Federated States of Micronesia are made up of coral reefs that are species rich. These reefs are highly beneficial to the people of the FSM for they provide food and other products that are vital for the survival of a human individual. With the growing population of the FSM, the demand on the exploitation of the resources is heightened causing increased degradation of marine biodiversity. This biodiversity is still high within the FSM reefs but face many anthropogenic threats. Brief descriptions of the FSM islands and their locations as well as their marine habitats are given to indicate the vast diversity of the islands.
