Manta rays are amongst the most majestic animals on earth. The way they "fly" through ocean water, the way they "dance" in currents, it is unique and exceptional.
While international protection is poor some countries realised the need and value in protecting manta rays and issued anti manta fishing laws.
Among these countries is Mexico where fishing for manta rays is banned since 2007. The Mexican standard provides protection for mantas and mobulids in all Mexican waters. (Source: mantatrust.org).
Fellow underwater photographer Lea Lee just recently made a trip to Socorro island off the Mexican coast in the pacific ocean and brought home a series of very impressive manta ray pictures. - Please, have a look at her flickr page.
