The environmental classification represents one of the first steps in the development of any kind of research in a region. Use of habitat mapping has been frequently employed to represent the features of the environment since it allows the classification of homogeneous regions based on unique characteristics. La Sorpresa is a highly heterogeneous reef, but the characterizations carried out, have not captured this diversity. The objective of this study is to develop a cartographic product attached to the spatial manifestation of the habitat in this rocky reef. For this, sampling was carried out to obtain data from the benthic environment that allows characterizing the area, by interpolating the percentage values of the abiotic and biotic covers. In the present work, it was demonstrated that the use of point data obtained from visual censuses together with interpolation methods, turned out to be an effective strategy, with good performance for the characterization of reefs. Also, the habitat maps of the area were created. The interpolation method Weighted Mean Distance (IDW) showed greater fidelity in representing the characteristics of the environment. Thanks to this, it was possible to verify that the reef presented high habitat heterogeneity. In general, the rocky reef of shows a composition with tepetate and rocks as the predominant hard substrates in the area, in these, the coverage of coralline algae, coral, and macroalgae is supported.
