Shore entry Measured

~126 m across the lagoon to the drop-off — a genuine swim, not a wade.

Living cover Measured

About 65% of the mapped reef reads as living coral or algae from satellite.

Heat history Measured

Peak heat stress 2.65 DHW since the imagery, no bleaching alert on record.

From satellite this reef reads Exceptional — roughly 65% 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 Raa Atollcited

Reef manta ray — southwest Raa

Around Maamunagau and Fenfushi, feeding runs December to April, in the northeast monsoon, with young-of-year present in the same window. The record here is substantial: several thousand sightings of more than 400 identified individuals.

Reef manta ray — eastern Raa

Vandhoo and Kottefaru flip to the southwest monsoon: feeding around September to November, courtship from July. This eastern side holds roughly 72% of the atoll’s pregnant-female sightings.
