LOVE MANTA RAYS? WANT TO SUPPORT RESEARCH AND CONSERVATION EFFORTS IN SOUTH AMERICA? JOIN A RAY OF HOPE EXPEDITION!
Most people that love the ocean dream about playing a more active role in education, research or conservation. Who wouldnt want to get more involved in something that they are passionate about? To that end Dr. Andrea Marshall, known globally as the Queen of the Mantas, has always encouraged that people take a proactive approach to their travel or ocean hobbies.
Demand from her supporters, combined with the need to fund her international research, has inspired Andrea to create Ray of Hope Expeditions. Each year she and other senior scientists from the Marine Megafauna Foundation embark on international expeditions to the worlds foremost manta ray aggregation sites to engage in field research.
Explore new aggregation sites with us, encounter mantas in remote destinations, participate in research activities, investigate manta ray fisheries and receive lectures from world-class biologists as a part of your package. The goals of each of the expeditions are unique but every trip is tailored to engage participants while producing high quality science.
Every year Andrea and her team run Ray of Hope Expeditions to mainland Ecuador as a part of Proyecto Mantas Ecuador a long-term project of the Marine Megafauna Foundation. The largest documented population of giant mantas in the world has been found off this coastline, complete with the largest individuals ever measured in the wild. Come join Andrea's team in the field for an experience of a lifetime. Ecuador is a megafauna capital and participants can expect to see humpback whales, spinner dolphins, eagle rays and green turtles on their trip and even may get to encounter more elusive giants like Mola mola and whale sharks!
