Elasmobranch abundance, demographics, and behaviour around Fuvahmulah are assessed using "Eye on the Reef" (EOTR) camera systems deployed at key cleaning stations. These deployments allowed for standardised, non-invasive documentation of shark and ray species presence and relative abundance across seasons.

Behavioural observations were recorded concurrently, with particular attention to foraging activity, cleaning interactions, and fine-scale movement patterns within and between sites. Repeated EOTR deployments enable comparisons across different scales and locations, providing insight into site fidelity and seasonal variability among species. Collectively, EOTRs provided robust, in situ evidence to support assessments of habitat importance for multiple elasmobranch species.
