Reef Conditions · top 32% of the 297 reefs we have measured
Shore entry Measured
~214 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.
Living cover Measured
About 33% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.
Heat history Measured
Peak heat stress 5.86 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).
From satellite this reef reads Very Good — roughly 33% 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 manta ray
Feeding peaks with the northeast monsoon — at Fushifaru Kandu around its start, and near Kuredhu, Huravalhi and Komandoo roughly January to March.
Grey reef shark
Fushifaru Kandu holds the largest grey reef shark aggregation documented anywhere in the Maldives.
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
