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.
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
