   Why are manta rays important?

   • Manta rays are particularly valued for their gill plates, which are traded internationally. Their slow reproductive rate exacerbates these threats. They are protected in international waters by the Convention on Migratory Species of Wild Animals, but are more vulnerable closer to shore. Areas where mantas congregate are popular with tourists.

   How many species of manta ray are there?

   • For decades, scientists thought there was just one species of manta ray. In 2008, researchers discovered that there are actually two distinct species: the reef manta ray, which tends to live along coastlines in the Indo-Pacific, and the giant oceanic manta ray, which lives in all the world’s major oceans, spending most of its life far from land.

   • A manta’s skin is covered in a mucusy film. The mucus serves as protection and a touch from human hands can remove the film, so hands off!
   • They are some of the largest animals in the ocean. Manta rays can weigh as much as 1,350 kg (3,000 lb) and have wingspans of up to 7 m (23 ft). Because of their size, very few aquariums can accommodate mantas, so there are not many in captivity.
   • Swimming is essential. Mantas have to swim constantly to stay alive – the forward propulsion flushes water over their gills.
   • The name “manta” comes from the Spanish word meaning “mantle” or “cloak” …and it’s easy to see why. The common nickname for mantas, “devilfish”, was given because of their cephalic fins, which look like horns.
