Maldives Oceanic Manta Season in Full Swing

 

April 2019

Last month we gave you a quick indication that the oceanic manta season in the Maldives was heating up. We had just hit 400 oceanic mantas in the database. Well, things continued to get even better. The team encountered dozens of oceanic mantas and we have now added over 250 new individuals to the database this year. Watch the video below for a field update from Dr. Guy Stevens and Simon Hilbourne in Fuvahmulah.
