Endangered Whale Sharks and Rays Just Got a Crucial Lifeline The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora on Friday updated its regulation and monitoring of several iconic shark and ray species

Great news: All manta and devil ray species have been listed under CITES Appendix I today!
All international commercial trade of manta and devil rays and products such as their gill plates is illegal now.

Apparently today is World Manta Day, so I took the opportunity to rewatch the footage from my awesome dive in Kona, Hawaii way back in 2015. This is the world famous manta ray night dive and it lived up to the immense hype.

September 17th is World Manta Day, a day to raise awareness about these majestic but endangered rays.
Targeted catch and bycatch in fisheries are responsible for a global decline of manta ray populations.
High time to better protect these gentle giants!
