Magnificent Mantas! With Lois Flounders, Yani Mohamed and Simon Hilbourne from the Manta Trust

Get ready to chat all things sea pancake! This episode, we pitched all your questions about the mesmerising manta ray to Yani, Simon and Lois who work for the Maldivian Manta Ray Project (MMRP), the flagship research project of the Manta Trust. We learn so much about these enigmatic, highly intelligent animals - how do they feed? Why do they jump out of the water? And why is the Maldives such a special place for them? We also chat about what it's like to work in the Maldives and swim with mantas for a living, as well as how YOU can help in the research and conservation of these incredible elasmobranchs.
