Zavora still hosts a large seasonal reproductive aggregation of reef mantas, so it's a critical area to protect. Nakia is working with the MMF conservation team to start a full protection program with the Zavora community, where mantas being entangled in coastal nets remains a significant threat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/6409752c-312f-49bb-a120-91236e637880/IMG_2187.jpg Latest News from MMF - Happy Manta Day! - Young conservationist in the making! A big part of our conservation program is helping people to learn more about the marine environment, endangered ocean species, and how best to help and protect them. While many of you have been lucky enough to see these animals underwater, for non-divers, virtual reality experiences have proven to be a highly engaging – i.e., happily mind-blowing – way to introduce people to ocean life.

Sadly, what they can’t cope with is the rapid changes that humans have created. Contemporary whale sharks probably live to 80–100 years old, and don’t even become adults until they’re 25–40. Since 1950, well within the life of many whale sharks still swimming around today, the number of people on earth has tripled. Annual plastic production has gone up 200x, from 2 million tons per year to 400, and much of it ends up in the ocean. The world’s shipping fleet has also tripled, with 20x more cargo transported. Open-ocean fisheries barely existed in 1950. Now, there are hundreds of thousands of large fishing vessels in international waters. Fortunately, conservation efforts have come a long way since I started working on the species in 2005. At that stage there were still large targeted fisheries for whale sharks in SE Asia, and evidence of major declines in whale shark populations was starting to pile up. These huge, placid sharks were in serious trouble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/67e9d26e-d4d7-4d36-a755-76a0d52ceae6/_7250280+%281%29.jpg Latest News from MMF - Happy Whale Shark Day! - A container vessel passes a whale shark feeding area off Mexico Atlantic manta rays feeding off Isla Contoy, Mexico https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/6360f5cf-7558-4653-b131-dbea4b83e440/_1260500.jpg Latest News from MMF - Happy Whale Shark Day! - A propeller-cut whale shark Gillnet fisheries are another tricky one, as there’s little monitoring of this fleet, and it's huge. There are tens of thousands of vessels in the Indian Ocean alone, fishing with nets up to around 17 km in length (over 10 miles). These nets are, of course, designed to be hard for fish to see and avoid. This year we started the Oman Whale Shark Project specifically to investigate whale shark ecology and threats in the Arabian Sea, a global hotspot for tuna driftnet activity. Plastic ingestion is also a threat to whale sharks and other filter-feeders – one that we’ve barely begun to understand. My major worry with plastic is that it's so difficult to quantify the danger. One whale shark, undergoing an extended recovery in a seapen after accidental capture in a gillnet off the Japan coast, eventually died from internal damage from a piece of plastic that had been swallowed over six months previously. We can't reliably track that kind of long-term harm in wild populations at this stage. We need to reduce the amount of plastic around whale sharks to improve their safety. Unmanaged tourism is a very visible issue in some areas, and I’m not discounting it – it can put extra pressure on whale sharks at key feeding sites. I’m a firm believer in the conservation potential of ecotourism, but too much whale shark tourism falls well short of that standard. Please look for operators that support research and conservation efforts, and promote best-practice standards for swimming with whale sharks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/3530fa9b-ba07-477e-979a-e5f9d12e8bc3/_SJP6205.jpg Latest News from MMF - Happy Whale Shark Day! - Mass tourism in the Maldives These are a lot of challenges. Can we fix it? Yes we can! Whale sharks are legally protected in *most* of the countries that are known to host important constellations (Madagascar and Oman, we’d love you to join the list!), and long-term protection efforts are starting to pay off. For instance, Western Australia – the spiritual home of whale shark research and ecotourism – has been seeing a fairly steady increase in whale shark sightings over the past decade. Every year, more people become interested in whale shark research and conservation – and we’ve now got an amazing AI-assisted global whale shark ID database at sharkbook.ai, with over 15,000 individual whale sharks identified from more than 10,000 contributors all around the world. These community efforts are helping us monitor whale shark abundance, prioritise threats, and implement countermeasures on global, regional, and national levels. Personally, it's always helpful to remind myself what can be achieved. I’ve just wrapped up an MMF dive liveaboard to the Galapagos Islands, where we watched thousands of critically endangered scalloped hammerhead sharks swimming through these protected waters. These sharks, one of the most valuable species in the global fin trade, are increasing in this marine reserve thanks to applied research, dedicated management, and a lot of conservation work. Whale sharks can become a global success story too. With all of us working together, these gentle giants can bounce back.

MMF research team has been studying manta rays around the Dampier Strait for over five years. We will seek both reef and giant manta rays as this is the peak season in the region. We’ll visit the best manta cleaning stations and feeding grounds in the area and have the opportunity to dive at the most exciting locations for other species such as Cape Kri, Mayhem, Sawandarek Jetty, Sardine’s Reef, and Blue Magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1614463424016-7XHUCLKGHKHQV1O0TNMZ/Guest%2Bwith%2Bmantas%2BRaja.jpg Trips - Raja Ampat, Indonesia - Misool We will then head to the far reaches of Raja Ampat with a visit to the southern sections of Misool. This community-protected region explodes with life, with some of the world’s healthiest and colorful coral reefs. Here we will seek out reef and giant manta rays, and their smaller relatives, the devil rays. This region has extraordinary pelagic life, including game fish, sharks, gigantic fish schools, and great macro life such as pygmy seahorses and unusual nudibranchs. Misool has an abundance of stunning dive sites, private bays for kayaking and paddle-boarding, and calm anchorages where we can dine under the stars. We like to allow ourselves to linger for several days to dive as much as possible and explore the beautiful area with its iconic karst limestone formations before returning to the Dampier Strait region. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1610584204317-2JDRS2OY2R02UVC8KN7K/Debbie-Arriaga-Komodo-Underwater-10.jpg Trips - Raja Ampat, Indonesia - Kawe While in the north, we will also visit Kawe, diving the famed Eagle Rock and Black Rock, home to even more manta rays, sharks, and game fish. The soft corals bloom in a variety of vibrant colors in this region and the currents support abundant life. We’ll also aim for a world-class night dive at Aljui Bay, where we will hunt for enigmatic critters such as ghost pipefish and little-known octopus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1610068841016-HUQ3NJMR3B9EXM2L7TLP/Badge-coralia-liveaboard-opening-picturew857h570crwidth857crheight570.jpg Trips - Raja Ampat, Indonesia - The World’s Best Liveaboard Introducing the new liveaboard MV Coralia, managed by Cruise Directors Debbie and Jerry Arriaga, your vessel for this MEGA Expedition – one of the finest boats in the region and recently voted the World’s Best Liveaboard!

Manta & Devil Rays Building on two decades of manta and devil ray research in Mozambique, MMF is studying the movement ecology of these species to determine their critical habitats and home range, while identifying and mapping anthropogenic threats to inform our conservation efforts. We work with government and management authorities to identify and mitigate threats, protect areas of core habitat, and implement conservation projects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1614986376684-U2BIO6NJSW9FXV07Y2JG/Clare-Prebble-snorkel.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects - Whale Sharks The southern Mozambique coast hosts one of the world’s most important whale shark feeding areas. Our pioneering work in the country focuses on monitoring populations of these endangered giants, developing sustainable shark ecotourism, and identifying and addressing the species’ conservation needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1614986470320-XNOL2LEZCMQ5U38FWXYR/Bull%2Bshark%2Btagging%2B%25C2%25A9%2BUli%2BKunz.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects - Bull Sharks Bull sharks are among the top predators inhabiting the Mozambican coastline, playing a vital role in marine ecosystems. Fisheries assessments have revealed a drastic increase in catch rates in recent years, indicating the need for swift and effective management action. This project uses a multi-technique approach to investigate the fine- and broad-scale movements and connectivity of bull sharks, addressing key knowledge gaps for this important coastal predator in southern Africa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1614986654863-PPV7SB0VM58CFH4L8B0D/Wedgefish%2Bdeep%2Bspecies%2BBaz.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects - Rhino Rays Rhino rays – the sharkrays, guitarfishes, and wedgefishes – were recently identified as the world’s most threatened group of marine fishes. They have been extensively targeted by fisheries, leading to dramatic population declines. Mozambique is a center of abundance for these spectacular rays. Our research is focused on gathering the data required for a science-based conservation strategy to be created for these critically endangered rays in Mozambique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1614986977245-WPHV28PNCCTE6ZZ3DQJW/Andrea%2Band%2BSmalleye%2BStingray.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects - Smalleye Stingrays In Mozambique we have an extraordinary opportunity to study the rare and enigmatic smalleye stingray. Despite being the largest of the marine stingrays, the species has eluded research efforts to date, leaving it data deficient and vulnerable to exploitation. This project aims to understand the distribution, movement, and habitat use of smalleye stingrays in the Inhambane Province to determine their population status and conservation needs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1614987285340-T875DRPTWOWEXZYQHK6N/Leopard%2BShark%2BFemale%2BBazaruto%2BIsland.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects - Leopard Sharks The Indian Ocean – Southeast Asian leopard shark population is thought to have declined by at least 50% over the past 50 years. The species is now listed as globally endangered. The Indian Ocean has been highlighted as a data deficient area for the species. This project will focus on better understanding the seasonality, distribution, and habitat use of leopard sharks in southern Mozambique, and defining priority areas for protection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1614987909577-M67H1H2VDH4T00RFGU1F/Eagle%2BRay%2BFlyby%2BBazaruto%2B2020.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects - Elasmobranch Census Overfishing has led to the severe decline of sharks and rays on a global scale. Southern Mozambique is a hotspot for elasmobranchs, yet detailed and current census information is lacking. Effective management and protection require this type of baseline information, therefore MMF scientists are gathering much-needed census data throughout the Inhambane Province. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/e7885839-4efc-45ce-8585-90045c10a0b4/Marlin+at+Burma+Banks+-8689.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects - Black Marlin Black marlin (Istiompax indica) are highly migratory apex predators and one of the world’s largest teleost fishes. Fisheries pressure in the Indian Ocean is increasing, but management initiatives are limited. Our research will use multiple methods to collect much-needed data on the regional movements and population structure of black marlin and confirm the Bazaruto Seascape as the Indian Ocean’s first identified spawning ground for black marlin. https://marinemegafauna.org/mozambique-projects/elasmobranch-census monthly 0.5 2021-03-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/2bf2efbc-a181-416e-9a6b-a70869ca09f2/Lukas+eDNA+sampling.jpg Mozambique Marine Science & Conservation Projects -

Manta Ray Project MMF is studying the movement, behavioral and reproductive ecology of manta rays to determine their critical habitats and home range while identifying and mapping anthropogenic threats to inform our conservation efforts. We work with government and management authorities, non-government organizations, and higher learning institutions to identify and mitigate threats, protect areas of core habitat, and implement conservation projects. We engage with the public and scale necessary data collection through citizen science and the global database for rays - MantaMatcher.org. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/2c4bc42f-637b-4c60-96b7-78973b314d3a/20210112+Manta+Bay+2-11.jpg Indonesia - Microplastics & Megafauna Project MMF is studying the impacts of marine plastic pollution on manta rays and whale sharks to better understand the risk to these filer-feeders. We have initially chosen to focus our research in Indonesia and the Philippines, two countries within the Coral Triangle, which is home to the richest biodiversity on the planet but is also one of the most polluted by plastic. We hope to leverage the iconic status and high blue economy value of manta rays and whale sharks for both of these countries to facilitate faster uptake in waste mitigation by governments and communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/e0d99eb5-cf81-40af-8ee0-0ea140efb943/20210331-World+Diving-MP_MG-10.jpg Indonesia - Sea Turtle Project Marine turtles are threatened with extinction. In Indonesia, we are fortunate to encounter both hawksbill and green turtles regularly. Turtles make long journeys from their initial nesting beaches, spending years at sea, visiting reefs and seagrass beds to forage and return to areas where they were born to mate and nest. They face a myriad of threats at all of these key life stages - from egg poaching, entanglement at sea, plastic ingestion, and harvesting. Engaging with SCUBA divers and underwater photographers by way of citizen science and the global database for turtles - Internet of Turtles - we have embarked on cataloging Indonesia’s sea turtles - one sighting at a time. This catalog will assist in identifying critical turtle habitats and locations of heightened threats. https://marinemegafauna.org/indonesia-projects/microplastics-megafauna monthly 0.5 2021-12-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb45e1d56031c342ebab398/1638941768790-HDWJP129YH5XYZZYD2F8/20210303-MP-2.jpg Indonesia -
