Shore entry Measured

~368 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 59% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 6.72 DHW since the imagery, 2 bleaching-alert years on record (2016, 2024).

From satellite this reef reads Excellent — roughly 59% living cover. We have not surveyed it in the water, so fish counts and big-encounter ratings stay pending. We don't estimate them.
