Proyecto Mantas Ecuador - Intro Video

February 2019

Ecuador shares the largest known population of oceanic manta rays in the world, but it is still fraught with artisanal fishing pressure and rising human impacts, making it an ideal location to study this iconic species and focus efforts to protect them.

Proyecto Mantas Ecuador, one of the Manta Trust’s affiliate projects, was founded in 2010 to conduct focused research that can be used to assist in the conservation management of Ecuador's oceanic mantas.
