Evening drift back to manta tows… yes, it’s “tow,” not “toe” (mantas have zero, we checked). 🩴 This behind-the-boat ride is how we scan reefs fast, spot change, & sometimes meet curious sharks. Reef science (on a leash).

So next time you hear about coral decline, remember:
There’s a researcher out there, gripping a board, scanning reef after reef, towing through tides and sharks to bring back the data.
Manta tow: science with salt.
#OceanHoptimism #ReefMonitoring #ScienceInAction
Why manta tow?
✅ Covers huge areas fast
✅ Works at high/low tide
✅ Needs minimal gear
✅ Tracks reef change over time
It’s not perfect, but it gets you a sweeping view when the clock is ticking and resources are limited.

Since we’ve been talking reef health today, let’s talk one of the methods used to monitor it across thousands of square km.
Enter: manta tow.
A survey method so bold it involves a human holding onto a board… being dragged behind a boat. 🧵👇
