Shore entry Measured

~161 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 39% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 2.71 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).

From satellite this reef reads Very Good — roughly 39% living cover. We have not surveyed it in the water, so fish counts and big-encounter ratings stay pending. We don't estimate them.
