Urgent call: report your Manta sightings before July 1!

Manta rays and their look-alike cousins Mobula Rays are in peril due to the alarming increase in trade of their gill rakers, skin, and other body parts. We need to determine the extent of this trade, and find out where these rays are common and where they are declining.

YOU CAN HELP! If you have more than 200 dives in one ocean area your observations can make all the difference! Report your observations

Even if you've never seen a manta or mobula, you can contribute to the conservation of these highly vulnerable species, in just 5 minutes. Please filling out THIS SURVEY.

Surveys must be submitted before July 1, 2012!
