Nicknamed “Devil Rays,” mobula rays are in fact gentle & intelligent giants that peacefully peruse the waters, straining tiny animals & plants to feed. Their nickname stems from their "horns" which are simply extensions of their fins which help guide plankton into their mouths.
BREAKING NEWS: We're applauding Colombia's decision to revisit - and rethink - the recent authorization of #shark harvesting in #Colombia’s waters.
RT if you stand with sharks 🦈
#TurningTheTide with @Sea_Legacy and @LonelyWhale
Fins from up to 73 million #sharks end up in the global fin trade every year. We must act now to ban the buying & selling of #sharkfins in the United States & protect sharks and our oceans. TAKE ACTION: bit.ly/2KFinbT
URGENT: The U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act (H.R. 737) TODAY! Call your member of Congress today and tell them to vote for a #FinBanNow: bit.ly/2KFinbT

Did you know that up to 13 million tons of bottle caps, grocery bags, cartons, & other #plastic waste enter the ocean annually? pew.org/2SGaWmw @pewenvironment @lonelywhale
RT & TAKE ACTION: Colombia has authorized the killing of 500 tons of sharks in 2020, including silky sharks, which are listed as Vulnerable by @IUCN.
Please TAKE ACTION & add your name HERE asking that this authorization be withdrawn: change.org/p/minagricultura-… @shawnheinrichs
Smaller cousins of the manta rays, mobula rays are also highly intelligent, curious & gentle beings. Our hope is to show them for what they are, magnificent and gentle beings deserving of our appreciation and protection. 🙏🌎🦋❤️🌈@shawnheinrichs @MantaTrust

Imagine being here: swimming in the presence of three gentle and majestic #mantas. Spanish for "cloak," not much is known still about these awe inspiring filter feeding animals that have wing spans up to 25 feet. #MantaMonday⠀

Australia will push for a million square kilometres of the Antarctic ocean to be protected as a marine sanctuary at an international forum in Hobart this week. #CCAMLR theguardian.com/world/2019/o…
Surviving 4 mass extinction events, #sharks are perfectly adapted predators that keep our oceans in balance. Yet in a few decades we have obliterated many populations by 90-99%, with up to 100 million/year falling victim to unchecked industrial fisheries. ☠️🦈🍜 @shawnheinrichs
Happy birthday to our founder, @shawnheinrichs 🎉💙 Your fierce leadership has inspired communities around the world to take action into their own hands & fight for the ocean that supports us all. We look forward to celebrating more conversation wins alongside you! @Sea_Legacy
