The principal objective of The Manta Network is the conservation and protection of manta and mobula rays worldwide.
These objectives fall into four areas:
- Population Studies -- to further our knowledge of habitats and migration patterns
- Environmental Education -- to develop a comprehensive online reference and educate organizations and individuals as to the
importance of protecting manta and modula rays
- Environmental Assessment Studies -- to conduct field research in strategically important areas
- Public Awareness Initiatives -- to prototype action plans and assist local awareness programs
As these programs progress, it is our goal to use the gained understanding to identify strategically important areas. These areas
could then be routinely monitored to provide the most valuable information to access population health. Local action programs can
then be fashioned to increase awareness and provide alternatives to overfishing.
