Shore entry Measured

~190 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 32% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 5.55 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).

From satellite this reef reads Good — roughly 32% living cover. We have not surveyed it in the water, so fish counts and big-encounter ratings stay pending. We don't estimate them.

Reef data modelled from Allen Coral Atlas benthic & geomorphic maps (CC BY 4.0) and NOAA Coral Reef Watch. No in-water survey — every figure above is a measurement. Marine icons: game-icons.net (CC BY 3.0).

Documented in Adducited

Reef manta ray

A resident sub-population rather than a seasonal visit. Across some 335 surveys at Maa Kandu, about 86% of individuals were resighted — an average of eleven times each. It is assessed as a reproductive area. No month-by-month peak has been published, so we do not state one.

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

Reef sharks — no atoll-level seasonal data

A seasonal peak — the residency is documented, the monthly pattern is not
