Entanglement is an especially potent threat to manta ray populations. These animals must swim continuously to keep water moving over their gills to breathe, but they can’t swim backwards. When they get tangled in fishing or mooring lines, they attempt to free themselves by twisting, turning, and somersaulting, which only makes the problem worse.
This month we are supporting Manta Rays through our partnership with the @oceanicpreservationsociety .
