Shore entry Measured

~317 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 36% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 5.6 DHW since the imagery, 2 bleaching-alert years on record (2016, 2024).

From satellite this reef reads Very Good — roughly 36% living cover. We have not surveyed it in the water, so fish counts and big-encounter ratings stay pending. We don't estimate them.

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

Mantas — reported at Fushi Kandu in the southwest monsoon, but not from an assessed source we can stand behind
