Most species of manta and devil rays (genus Mobula) are endangered, yet industrial purse seine fishing vessels unintentionally catch about 13,000 each year while hunting tuna, according to one scientific estimate.

New regulations, handling techniques and equipment aim to reduce this number.

Devil & #MantaRays are slow-growing animals with highly fragmented populations.

Targeted and incidental fisheries are a major threat on a global scale.

"Manta ray populations are thriving in Indonesia’s Raja Ampat archipelago, a new population assessment shows, highlighting the importance of marine protected areas to the species’ conservation.

The study showed that reef manta ray (Mobula alfredi) populations saw up to 10.7% compound annual increase from 2009-2019 in the region, even as global ray and shark populations undergo a sweeping decline."

Read the story from Cassie Freund.

EurekAlert! - Largest known manta ray population is thriving off the coast of Ecuador, new research shows

"Scientists have identified off the coast of Ecuador a distinct population of oceanic manta rays that is more than 10 times larger than any other known subpopulation of the species.
The findings indicate that while other populations of oceanic manta rays are typically small & vulnerable to human impacts, this population is large & potentially quite healthy".
