Reef Conditions · top 38% of the 297 reefs we have measured


Shore entry Measured

~142 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 28% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 4.57 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).

From satellite this reef reads Very Good — roughly 28% 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

Bodu Hithi Kandu on the western side is a northeast-monsoon feeding area; Lankan Beyru on the east is assessed as a reproductive area, with no published season.

Grey reef & whitetip reef sharks

Recorded in the southern channels through both monsoons.

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
