Around the 23 survey spots set up by the scientific expedition team, the average coral coverage of reef-building corals near Xianbin Reef was 24.7 percent, with a maximum of 51.3 percent, according to the report.

It is relatively high compared to major coral reef distribution areas around the world.

The scientific expedition team conducted material analysis of coral debris from the six cays of Xianbin Reef and found no terrestrial material input.
