Shore entry Measured

~148 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 22% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 5.26 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).

From satellite this reef reads Good — roughly 22% living cover. We have not surveyed it in the water, so fish counts and big-encounter ratings stay pending. We don't estimate them.

Eagle & fantail rays

Spotted eagle rays and blotched fantail rays are recorded year-round, and ornate eagle rays show no seasonality at all. There is a blacktip reef shark nursery in the atoll.

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