Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Moluccan Bluespotted Maskray sighting in Raja Ampat on a given day, based on 67 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 5th most-seen of the 12 sharks and rays we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May, August–September and December–January
In those months about 80% of wildlife watchers report a Moluccan Bluespotted Maskray in Raja Ampat on a given day, against about 20% in July, the lowest month.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Moluccan Bluespotted Maskray sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Raja Ampat, in our data
Raja Ampat is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Moluccan Bluespotted Maskray sightings: about 60% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Moluccan Bluespotted Maskray is recorded against all the sharks and rays logged in Raja Ampat (67 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
