Shore entry Measured

~101 m across the lagoon to the drop-off.

Living cover Measured

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

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 3.83 DHW since the imagery, no bleaching alert on record.

From satellite this reef reads Excellent — 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.

Documented in Malé Atollcited

Reef manta ray

Year-roundSourceIUCN SSC 2023
Not established here honest

Turtles — no atoll-level seasonal study exists; treat them as year-round residents rather than a season

Anything reef-specific — this is a large, heavily developed atoll and the assessments cover particular channels, not the whole of it
