Author notes
Competing Interests: The Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru had no role in study design,
data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript,
but provided logistical support Manta Trust researchers working in the Maldives. This
does not alter our adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. The
authors have declared that no other competing interests exist.
