Shore entry Measured

~139 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 62% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 2.67 DHW since the imagery, 1 bleaching-alert year on record (2016).

From satellite this reef reads Exceptional — roughly 62% 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 data modelled from Allen Coral Atlas benthic & geomorphic maps (CC BY 4.0) and NOAA Coral Reef Watch. No in-water survey — every figure above is a measurement. Marine icons: game-icons.net (CC BY 3.0).
