NOAA Flower Garden Banks Natioonal Marine Sanctuary
Manta rays have long been a favorite for divers and a focal species for Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. But, what do we really know about them? NOAA ONMS Nancy Foster Scholar and Associate Director of The Manta Trust, Joshua Stewart, will talk about his research on manta rays and what he has learned about the population that visits Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary. What are they doing in the sanctuary? Why are they so small? What questions about mantas remain to be answered in the Gulf of Mexico?
